US Patent:

7310470, Dec 18, 2007

Filed:

Apr 14, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/106242

Inventors:

Craig Ray - Fuquay Varina NC, US
Jackie Moore - Benson NC, US

Assignee:

Tyco Electronics Corporation - Middletown PA

International Classification:

G02B 6/00

US Classification:

385134, 385100, 385105, 385135

Abstract:

Optical fiber repair apparatus include a longitudinally extending closure frame having a longitudinally extending optical fiber receiving groove in a face thereof. An adjustable guide member on the closure frame is longitudinally movable thereon to adjust a position of an optical fiber of a first optical fiber cable in the groove. A first attachment member is configured to couple the first optical fiber cable to the guide member with the optical fiber of the first optical fiber cable extending into the optical fiber receiving groove. A retainer is configured to couple a second optical fiber cable to the closure frame with an optical fiber of the second optical fiber cable extending into the optical fiber receiving groove.

Abstract:

Methods for splicing optical fibers include coupling a first optical fiber cable to a longitudinally extending closure frame and coupling a second optical fiber cable to an adjustable guide member on the closure frame. The adjustable guide member is moved toward the first optical fiber cable to provide a distance between the first and second optical fiber cable less than an exposed length of the first and second optical fiber therebetween to provide a slack length of optical fiber. Cleaved exposed ends of a first optical fiber from the first optical fiber cable and a second optical fiber from the second optical fiber cable are positioned proximate each other in a splice station displaced from the closure frame utilizing the slack length of optical fiber. The first and second optical fibers are spliced in the splice station and the adjustable guide member is moved away the first optical fiber cable to remove the slack length and position the spliced optical fibers in the closure frame.

Abstract:

A method of securing an ATV or any device that allows for connection with the invention. The invention, known as Sureloc, has a five axis articulating head design which allows for connection with a device in any direction. The Auger section of Sureloc allows for securing a device into the ground without assistance from other objects. This allows Sureloc to be used as a portable security device. The shaft of Sureloc has a vertical movement of approximately 6″ as an adjustment to reach various heights of different devices. The shad guide rotates 180 degrees giving Sureloc a 2′ attachment range in a 360 degree area.
