Patent number: 5757997Abstract: A fiber optic connector comprising a plug and a receptacle uses the spring force supplied by bowing of the plug fiber to maintain a continuous compressive load at the fiber joint located in a fiber-alignment groove. The plug has a holder for securing the plug fiber and a shroud which snaps onto the holder with the plug fiber extending generally straight inside the shroud. The shroud has a slot providing access to the terminal portion of the plug fiber, and a sliding door which selectively covers the slot. The receptacle includes a housing and another fiber holder for securing the receptacle fiber, with a projection or finger attached to the receptacle fiber holder, the projection having the fiber-alignment groove. The finger is oriented within the receptacle housing such that, when the plug is inserted into the receptacle, the finger extends through the slot in the shroud at an oblique angle with respect to the plug axis.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 1995Date of Patent: May 26, 1998Assignee: Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing CompanyInventors: Barbara L. Birrell, Victor J. Borer, Donald G. Doss, Gordon D. Henson, Scott A. Igl, Nicolas A. Lee
