Publication number: 20210026080Abstract: An optical receptacle includes a fiber stub, a block, and a first elastic member. The fiber stub includes an optical fiber, and a ferrule provided on one end side of the optical fiber. The block is separated from the ferrule and has one end surface, an other end surface, and a through-hole extending from the one end surface to the other end surface. A portion of the optical fiber protrudes from the ferrule and is inserted into the through-hole. The first elastic member fixes the optical fiber in the through-hole. The portion of the optical fiber includes first to third portions. The second portion is provided between the first portion and the third portion. A core diameter at the first portion is smaller than a core diameter at the third portion. A core diameter at the second portion increases from the first portion toward the third portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2020Publication date: January 28, 2021Inventors: Hirotsugu AGATSUMA, Satoshi HAKOZAKI, Hiroki SATO, Satoshi KANEYUKI, Kohei TOMINAGA, Arato SUZUKI

Patent number: 10345534Abstract: A pigtail-type optical receptacle includes a ferrule, an optical fiber, a protective member, a sleeve, and a holder. The ferrule has a through-hole extending in an axial direction. The optical fiber is held by the ferrule in a state of being inserted into the through-hole and extends outside the ferrule from a rear end side of the ferrule. The protective member covers a portion of the optical fiber extending outside the ferrule. The sleeve engages an outer surface of the ferrule. The through-hole includes a first region and a second region. The second region is disposed rearward of the first region. The width in an orthogonal direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the through-hole in the second region widens toward the rear end side of the ferrule. The holder holds a portion of the outer surface of the ferrule rearward of the first region.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2018Date of Patent: July 9, 2019Assignee: Toto Ltd.Inventors: Kohei Tominaga, Satoshi Kaneyuki, Sho Kondo, Hirotsugu Agatsuma, Satoshi Hakozaki, Hiroki Sato
