CLAMP FOR OPTICAL FIBER CONNECTOR HAVING FLEXIBLE STRUCTURE FOR FIXING IN SERIES LOCATED TERMINALS Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC G02B6/38 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: flexible structure presses the centering pins to reliably and accurately position the centering pins. The flexible structure retains the centering pins without clearance. The flexible structure is defined by, at least, a flexible element in the form of a cantilever structure extending to the side of the coupling. The cantilever structure, with or without a complementary support element, defines the space, in which the centering pin can be locked. The flexible element may be defined by one or more slots created on the body of the coupling to facilitate bending of the cantilever structure. In another embodiment of the invention, the coupling comprises a sleeve liner having grooves for fixing the light guides, and a coupling frame that holds the sleeve of the coupling and centering pins. The flexible structure is created on the frame. In a further embodiment of the invention, the sleeve insert has grooves for the light guides along its perimeter.

EFFECT: ensuring ease of use and increasing reliability with low sensitivity to the environment.
