  • Patent number: 11691334
    Abstract: The present invention relates to apparatuses for distributing build powder in powder-layer three-dimensional printers (2) and for the collection of particulates of the build powder that have become suspended in the gaseous atmosphere in the vicinity of the build platform of the three-dimensional printer. These apparatuses include recoaters (20) that are particularly useful in providing uniform distribution of fine build powder across the width of the build platform or powder bed. The present invention also includes powder-layer three-dimensional printers (2) which comprise such apparatuses for distributing build powder and/or apparatuses for collecting such suspended particulates. The improved fine powder recoater (20) uses an ultrasonic transducer (30) to move powder through a sheet screen (28). The sheet screen (28) may be presented to the powder fed onto it in a narrow dispensing slot to limit the flow rate of powder from the dispenser and to provide control over the amount of powder dispensed.

  • Patent number: 11513290
    Abstract: A strip stop mechanism for a fiber stripping machine including a channel for receiving an optical fiber. The strip stop mechanism can include a lever operably mounted to the fiber stripping machine, the lever extending between a first end and a second end and being rotatable between a first position and a second position. When the lever is in the first position, the first end of the lever resides within the channel to provide an end stop for the optical fiber. When the lever is in the second position, the first end of the lever is at least partially withdrawn from the channel and the fiber stripping machine is activated. A second end of the lever can be configured to depress an activation button of the fiber stripping machine once the first end of the lever is at least partially removed from the channel.

  • Publication number: 20220334326
    Abstract: A fiber gripping tool places optical fibers extending from optical connectors in an optical condition for cleaving. The fiber gripping tool can include a first gripper having a first clamping surface extending between a front edge and a rear edge, and a second gripper having a second clamping surface extending between a front edge and a rear edge, the second clamping surface facing the first clamping surface. In one aspect, when the first and second gripper are subjected to a closing force, the closing force causes the first and second clamping surfaces to be compressed against each other to grip an optical fiber and to be displaced in a fiber pulling direction towards the rear edges of the first and second clamping surfaces.

  • Publication number: 20220009050
    Abstract: A fabrication carrier for fiber optic connectors defines a body configured to removably hold a plurality of fiber optic ferrules. The body allows each of the fiber optic ferrules to be movable along its axis under a bias when the ferrules are mounted to the body. The body can be coupled to a polishing plate for use with a ferrule polishing apparatus in a polishing step. Coupling of the body to the polishing plate allows each of the ferrules to at least partially protrude past a bottom face of the polishing plate for contact with the polishing apparatus. The body of the fabrication carrier is configured as a fixture that can be used in at least one additional fabrication step aside from the polishing step when not mounted to the polishing plate.
