Abstract: A cable sleeve for the structured storage and handling of optical waveguides guided in optical waveguide cables is disclosed. The cable sleeve comprises a covering body defining an interior. A sealing body comprising two dimensionally stable end pieces and a compressible gel element arranged between the end pieces is adapted to be insert into an opening of the covering body and operable for feeding optical waveguide cables into the interior and/or for feeding optical waveguide cables out of the interior. Spring elements are integrated into the interior of a covering body. When the sealing body is inserted into the opening of the covering body and compressed, the spring elements bear against one of the dimensionally stable end pieces of the sealing body and exert a compression force onto the gel element.

Abstract: A splitting apparatus and manipulating apparatus for optical waveguides is disclosed. The splitting apparatus has a bottom plate, a first side and a second side. At least one bundled core guide device, which is used for guiding and/or restraining a plurality of bundled cores, can be inserted into a first bushing region of a splitting apparatus on the first side in such a way that the bundled core guide device latches detachably with ribs and/or the bottom plate of the respective first bushing region. A second bushing region can receive the optical waveguides on the second side, wherein the optical waveguides are individual or loose from the bundled cores.

Abstract: A device for storing and handling optical fibers, namely a cable sleeve, includes a frame and a plurality of splice cases arranged one above the other on a front side of the frame and on a rear side of the frame and pivotally fastened to the frame. Fiber guide elements are mounted on at least one narrow side of the frame for guiding optical fibers laterally next to the splice cases. A drawer disposed between the splice cases and configured to be drawn out from a vertically running narrow side of the frame stores uncut multifiber buffer tubes containing optical fibers. Guide channels are disposed inside the splice cases such that the optical fibers are guided within the splice cases in a circular manner with approximately the same radii, irrespective of their individual lenths.

Abstract: A patch cable management system for an optical waveguide distributing device includes a plurality of plus modules and/or splice modules mounted on a subrack. Each plus module and/or splice module is provided with a plurality of couplings for contact with optical waveguides on the front and rear. An electronic module provided with all the functions and componenty of a conventional backplane can be positioned at any desired location within the optical waveguide distributing device and connected to the plug moduels and/or splice modules to serve for the electronic addressing and localization of the plugged optical-fiber connections.

Abstract: The invention relates to an optical waveguide connection device, a plug and a plug connection for optical waveguides. The optical waveguide connection device has a carrier element, in particular a panel, having couplings for the plugs of the optical waveguides and being of integral design with the carrier element. The plug according to the invention has a ferrule which is mounted in the plug housing in an unresilient manner.

Abstract: A sealing body (DK) for cable accessories is provided with cable entrance openings (KEU) in a separation plane (TE) of the sealing body (DK) and with cable entrances (KEN) outside of the separation plane (TE). In the cable entrances (KEN) outside of the separation plane (TE) is arranged a sealing system made of a pressure bushing (AH), a toothed disk (ZS), a sealing bushing (DH) and a thrust bearing bushing (GH).

Abstract: A cable sleeve includes a covering body having a front-face end defining a circumferential, conically tapered flange. At least one front-face sealing body is positioned adjacent the covering body and has a circumferential, U-shaped sealing groove. A ring seal in inserted into the sealing groove of the sealing body. The ring seal has an L-shaped cross-section and has a first leg that received within the sealing groove of the sealing body and a second leg having a tapered course on both sides broadening towards the first leg. A straining ring fastens the ring seal between the flange of the covering body and the sealing groove of the sealing body.

Abstract: The invention relates to a food processor with a mixing vessel and a drive mechanism for an agitator in the mixing vessel, the lower region of which can be heated. As a simple way of improving a food processor of this type, it is proposed that a top unit for the mixing vessel should have a perforated base to allow food to be steam-cooked. The perforations are formed in a support plate in the base of the top unit and condensation and moisture are led back into the mixing vessel.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a food processor with a mixing vessel (4) and a drive mechanism for an agitator in the mixing vessel (4), where the mixing vessel (4) has in its lower region an opening of substantially circular cross-section. To make this type of food processor more practicable the invention proposes that the cross-section of the upper opening be elliptical and that a geometric mid-point (19') of the upper opening cross-section be offset from a mid-point (19) of the lower opening cross-section.
