  • Aligner for slender elongate members
    Patent number: 5949938
    Abstract: An optical fiber aligner includes an alignment block formed with an alignment channel and two rods fitted in the alignment channel. The rods are held in spaced apart relationship in the alignment channel whereby an open bottom groove is formed between the rods for receiving the ends of two optical fibers to be aligned. The space between the rods is sufficiently wide to allow dirt and debris from the fibers to pass between the rods but not so wide as to allow the fibers to pass between the rods.
