Abstract

ELEMENTOS PARA HACER JUNTAS DE EXTREMOS, EN FIBRAS OPTICAS DE MATERIAL PERMANENTE DEFORMABLE, POR EJ., MATERIAL POLIMERICO O METALICO, SE PUEDEN FORMAR PARA DEFINIR TRES SUPERFICIES 78, 79 Y 86 PARA PONER EN CONTACTO LAS FIBRAS A UNIR. LAS SUPERFICIES SE FORMAN ENTRE DOS PATAS 74 Y 75 EN UN ELEMENTO TAL QUE CUANDO LAS PATAS ESTAN CERRADAS EN LAS FIBRAS, LAS SUPERFICIES CENTRAN LAS FIBRAS MEDIANTE EL EMPOTRADO DE LAS FIBRAS EN LAS SUPERFICIES Y SOPORTANDO UNA COMPRESION DE MUELLE ELASTICO DE FUERZA REVERSA EN LAS FIBRAS ALINEADAS PARA MANTENERLAS EN CONTACTO Y ENGANCHAR LAS FIBRAS AL ELEMENTO.
