Patent number: 7025239Abstract: A device for cleaving optical fibers having a housing with an internal chamber, a fiber alignment member removably connected to the housing and a fiber cutting member supported by the housing. The alignment member has an opening sized to receive the ferrule of a fiber optic connector and has a stop proximate to the inward end of an opening to engaged the ferrule distal end. The alignment member is quickly interchangeable with another sized and arranged to handle the ferrule of a different type or size connector. The opening is sized to receive ferrule with an optical fiber to be cleaved, and permits the fiber to extend inward beyond the inward end of the opening and into the housing internal chamber.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2002Date of Patent: April 11, 2006Assignee: Leviton Manufacturing Co., Inc.Inventors: Michael M. Itano, Harley B. Lang, III, Thomas J. Luenow, Patrick S. McNutt, Michael S. Silbaugh

Patent number: 6786776Abstract: A connector jack having a body with a receptacle to receive a plug, a circuit board, and contact tines extending within the receptacle. Each tine has an end attached to the circuit board and a free end, and is moved in response to contact by a corresponding one of the plug contacts in a first direction as the plug is inserted into the receptacle. The jack includes resilient spring members extending within the receptacle, each positioned adjacent to a corresponding one of the tines to be engaged thereby when moved in the direction by the corresponding plug contact as the plug is inserted into the receptacle, and apply a supplemental force to increase contact force and tine resiliency. A tine contact portion has a pair of lateral members that receive a spring engagement portion therebetween and has a recess in which the spring engagement portion is positioned.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2003Date of Patent: September 7, 2004Assignee: Leviton Manufacturing Co., Inc.Inventors: Michael M. Itano, William D. Regester, John M. Redfield
