Publication number: 20090013726Abstract: When forming a taper portion on an end of a glass base material for manufacturing an optical fiber, the taper portion is formed by fusing the glass base material from a modified point after modifying a center-line displacement amount of a fusing point for a center line of the glass base material to a value not more than a predetermined numeric value. Moreover, in a glass base material for drawing having an effective straight base with an average outside diameter D and a taper portion on one end of the effective straight base, when the glass base material is attached to a drawing apparatus, a ratio ?/D between the average outside diameter D and a taper portion distortion ? is ?/D<=0.03, and the taper portion distortion ? is expressed with a maximum value of a center-line displacement amount of the glass base material between an effective straight base end from the taper portion and a distortion evaluating end of the taper portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 10, 2005Publication date: January 15, 2009Inventor: Mitsukuni Sakashita

Patent number: 6640589Abstract: The glass base material drawing apparatus for heating and drawing a glass base material has a storage unit for storing the glass base material having an opening unit that is opened along the longitudinal direction of the storage unit when the glass base material is placed inside the storage unit, a heating unit for heating the glass base material that has been stored inside the storage unit via the opening unit, and a pull-out unit for pulling out the glass base material heated by the heating unit. The opening unit may be opened in such a manner that the glass base material is moved from a side direction of the storage unit into the interior of the storage unit. A main axis for supporting the glass base material is connected to the glass base material. The storage unit may have a penetration hole through which the main axis is inserted when the opening unit is closed.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2000Date of Patent: November 4, 2003Assignee: Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd.Inventors: Mitsukuni Sakashita, Shoji Hoshino, Tadakatsu Shimada, Waichi Yamamura, Hideo Hirasawa
