FIBER-OPTICAL SOCKET (VERSIONS) Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC G02B6/38 

FIELD: physics, optics.

SUBSTANCE: invention concerns fibre optics and optronics. It can be applied to linking of groups of fiber-optical cables among themselves. In the socket the centralisers are executed from an elastic material. One of edges of a gash of every centraliser is fixed in a socket material. On other edge from each leg of a tip there are salients. From each leg of the fiber-optical socket the slider is available. There are holdfasts of an open standing of the socket. At centre of each of the socket legs, there are the buttons relieving a holdfast. Each fiber-optical plug has the mobile lattice of squeezing of springs or an elastic material for plug tips springing. In each plug there is a lever. There is a device of fixing of a lattice. Vacuities of the centralisers densely sweep plug tips. Thus moves a slider, fixing a plug in the socket and voiding the mobile lattice for travel. The elastic material creates necessary effort of squeezing of end faces of tips.

EFFECT: simplification of linking and socket release, the small sizes of a socket at linking of major number of fibrils, pinch of accuracy of alignment and making of necessary clamping effort of end faces of fibrils on each pair of joined light guides, possibility of installation of optical fibrils in fiber-optical plugs in field requirements that allows to refuse application in fiber-optical networks of patch-panels.
