  • Method and arrangement for levelling out tension variation of an optical fibre
    Patent number: 6079261
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and arrangement for levelling out tension variation of an optical fibre when the fibre is wound on or off a reel, the basic tension of the fibre being provided by means of a dancer. To allow tension to be rapidly levelled out, the fibre is arranged to be deflected between two support and guide means by means of a transverse jet of a gaseous medium generated by a nozzle means mounted in a transverse position in relation to the direction of travel of the fibre.
