Abstract: An optical waveguide housing and method for tension-free accommodation of optical waveguides in a spool housing, in which the emerging fiber length can be easily adapted by simple means.

Abstract: A strip is provided with a plurality of recesses beside which are arranged spring-mounted clamping levers which can be elevated and/or pivoted. By means of each lever, a component, e.g. a coil is clamped in a permanent and accurately known position above a terminal carrier plate, so that the components can be bonded on to the terminal carrier plates in the correct position, their terminals, e.g. the winding ends, can be welded to the terminal contacts of the terminal carrier plates, and electrical tests can also be carried out. The device in accordance with the invention is suitable as a production device for small biperforate core coils or annular core coils which are later to be used in film circuits.

Abstract: Electrical components permanently applied to terminal carrier plates are cast with casting resin in a casting mould. The mould includes (a) a lower mould component, provided with a silicon rubber layer containing recesses for receiving the carrier plates, (b) a central mould component which is to be clamped down onto the lower mould component and is provided with chambers which are open at the top and at the bottom and which accommodate the electrical components to be cast, and (c) an upper mould component which is provided with flow openings for the common casting resin sprue. The invention can be used, for example, in the production of small annular core coils which are later to be used in film circuits.
