Abstract

EL PRESENTE INVENTO ES UN DISPOSITIVO DE DESPLAZAMIENTO DEL EXTREMO DE UNA FIBRA OPTICA (6) SIGUIENDO DOS EJES ORTOGONALES, QUE PERMITE EL ALINEAMIENTO DE ESTA FIBRA OPTICA (6) CON OTRO ELEMENTO OPTICO. SE COMPONE DE UNA BASE SOBRE LA CUAL SE MANTIENE EL ELEMENTO OPTICO, Y UN SOLIDO DEFORMABLE (10B) INARTICULADO DE LAMINAS DELGADAS (14B) SOBRE EL CUAL ESTA FIJADA LA FIBRA OPTICA A ALINEAR. SE CARACTERIZA EN QUE EL SOLIDO DEFORMABLE ESTA HECHO DE UNA SOLA PIEZA Y SUS PARTES EN FORMA DE LAMINAS DELGADAS (14B) ESTAN DISPUESTAS SEGUN UN PARALELEPIPEDO DEL CUAL LA SECCION DERECHA, CUADRADA EN REPOSO, ES PERPENDICUALR AL EJE DE LA FIBRA OPTICA (6). LOS DOS EXTREMOS DE UNA DIAGONAL DE ESTE PARALELEPIPEDO ESTAN EL UNO FIJADO SOBRE LA BASE Y EL OTRO SOLIDARIO A LA FIBRA OPTICA A ALINEAR. LOS DOS EXTREMOS DE LA OTRA DIAGONAL CONSTITUYEN CADA UNO EL PUNTO DE APOYO DE UN MEDIO DE DESPLAZAMIENTO, QUE PERMITEN DEFORMAR LA SECCION DERECHA DEL PARALELEPIPEDO. APLICACION EN EL ENLACE DE UNA FIBRA OPTICACON OTRO ELEMENTO OPTICO CUALQUIERA.
