Patent number: 5984532Abstract: An optical fiber connector comprising a base and a lid member constituting an element having a doubly split structure which forms a roughly rod-like shape when united, and a spring for housing the base and lid member and applying pressure for pressing them together, wherein centering grooves for positioning and centering optical fibers for adjoinment and connection are provided in at least one or between the opposing faces of the base and lid member which are put together. In a mode wherein the element is inserted into a C-shaped spring having a rod shape with a C-shaped cross section, the optical fibers which are inserted from both ends of the element are pushed to the centering groove and adjoined into connection. By inserting or withdrawing wedges into wedge insertion grooves formed between the base and the lid member, it is possible to open or close the element.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 1998Date of Patent: November 16, 1999Assignee: Fujikura Ltd.Inventors: Yasuhiro Tamaki, Toshiyuki Tanaka, Akito Nishimura, Yuichi Yoshida, Hiroshi Yokosuka
