  • Patent number: 4948220
    Abstract: In a box having an openable front face, plural fiber loop supports substantially flat and movable can be laid out parallel with the front face of the box. Connector bars are respectively attached to the supports and are used for two by two connecting the optical fibers. Slides on sliding rails attached in the box enable the supports to be translated together substantially perpendicular to the front face and completely outside the box. A support-bearing rod is rotatively mounted between the slides so as to turn the supports together outside the box and around an axis of rotation substantially parallel with the front face. The inside of the box is then accessible. Each of the supports can pivot around an axis perpendicular to the support so as to be cleared away from the other supports.
