  • Process for the drawing of optical fibers through textiles, and a device for the carrying out of the process
    Patent number: 4854250
    Abstract: A method of drawing an optical fiber through a fabric, having opposite first and second sides, comprises the following consecutive steps: advancing the optical fiber by a fiber transport device in a hollow needle to a predetermined extent; pushing the hollow needle, together with the optical fiber, through the fabric from the first side to the second side until a free end of the optical fiber has traversed the fabric to a predetermined extent; withdrawing the needle from the fabric to the first side thereof while maintaining the optical fiber substantially stationary relative to the fabric; gripping the free end of the fiber by a grasping device on the second side; pulling the optical fiber through the fabric until a predetermined pulled-through length of the optical fiber is obtained on the second side; and servering the optical fiber by a cutting device on the first side.
