  • Patent number: 5524160
    Abstract: This plug (200) is intended to interact with a mating connector or other female connection element comprising a tubular housing (103) provided with two diametrically opposite studs (109) for engaging and locking. According to the invention, the plug comprises: an elongate central body (210) accommodating the fiber termination (211, 212) with a cylindrical region (250) whose external section corresponds with the internal section of the housing of the mating connection, and two elastically deformable arms (220), each connected by one (222) of their ends to a rear region (218) of the central body and extending in along the central body substantially parallel to the general axis of the latter and toward the respective studs of the mating connector, the free end (223) of each arm each carrying a flange (230) provided, on its face turned toward the central body, with a cavity (231) of cross-section at least partially corresponding with the external section of the respective stud of the mating connector.

  • Patent number: 4815811
    Abstract: The invention has the object of providing an optic contact, that is to say the positioning and fixing of a termination (5) of an optic fibre in a connection terminal (4). According to the invention: the termination is inserted in the terminal in a manner to allow the termination a transverse play in the terminal; an optic signal is axially injected (120,110) into the core of the fibre through the end face (6) of the termination; the signal returned through this same end face is detected (110,130,140) on a point of this latter corresponding to a predetermined reference axis; the termination is displaced transversely (210,220; 210',220') in the terminal with respect to the reference axis as far as a position at which the amplitude of detected signal (S.sub.W) is a maximum, so that this position corresponds to an alignment of the axis of the core of the fibre on this reference axis; the termination is fixed in this position in the terminal.
