Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In an L-angle type optical connector for bending an optical fiber in a right angle direction in wiring, an L-angle member which accommodates a bent portion, which is bent in a right angle direction, of the optical fiber has a cut-out spanning the entire length of the L-angle member along the inside of the bent portion, and a protrusion is formed on inner side surfaces, which sandwich the cut-out, of the L-angle member in a protruded manner. The member which accommodates the bent portion, which is bent in a right angle direction, of the optical fiber is constituted of one component.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An L-angle type optical connector for bending an optical fiber in a right angle direction in wiring, wherein an L-angle member which accommodates a bent portion of the optical fiber has a cut-out spanning an entire length of the L-angle member along an inside of the bent portion, the bent portion being bent in the right angle direction, two or more protrusions are formed on both of inner side surfaces of the L-angle member in a protruded manner, the surfaces sandwiching the cut-out, and the two or more protrusions are provided on only one side of an L shape of the cut-out which is cut to form the L shape. 2. The L-angle type optical connector according to claim 1 , wherein the two or more protrusions which are respectively provided to both of the inner side surfaces are provided to be opposed to each other. 3. The L-angle type optical connector according to claim 1 , wherein the two or more protrusions which are respectively provided to both of the inner side surfaces are provided in a manner to be aligned in an extending direction of the cut-out. 4. The L-angle type optical connector according to claim 1 , wherein the two or more protrusions which are respectively provided to both of the inner side surfaces are provided in a manner to be aligned in a depth direction of the cut-out. 5. The L-angle type optical connector according to claim 1 , wherein the two or more protrusions are provided to a corner portion or close to the corner portion of the L shape of the cut-out which is cut to form the L shape. 6. The L-angle type optical connector according to claim 2 , wherein the two or more protrusions are provided to a corner portion or close to the corner portion of the L shape of the cut-out which is cut to form the L shape. 7. The L-angle type optical connector according to claim 3 , wherein the two or more protrusions are provided to a corner portion or close to the corner portion of the L shape of the cut-out which is cut to form the L shape. 8. The L-angle type optical connector according to claim 4 , wherein the two or more protrusions are provided to a corner portion or close to the corner portion of the L shape of the cut-out which is cut to form the L shape.
