Appl. No.:

7/065202

Inventors:

Frederic H. Abendschein - Columbia PA
Paul B. Derr - Middletown PA
John H. Huber - Harrisburg PA
Randy M. Manning - New Cumberland PA

Assignee:

AMP Incorporated - Harrisburg PA

International Classification:

B24B 4106

US Classification:

51216R

Abstract:

A polishing bushing for polishing the end face of an optical fiber supported within a rigid sleeve includes a bushing base (31, 131) having a front surface (36, 136). The rigid sleeve (21, 21a) normally protrudes from beyond the front surface (36, 136) to permit the end face (14, 14a) of the optical fiber (12, 12a) carried therein to be polished. The bushing includes resilient portion (34) for permitting the rigid sleeve (21, 21a) to move longitudinally in passageway (38) to limit the force applied to the end face (14, 14a) of the fiber (12, 12a) by the polishing medium. The front surface (36, 136) of the bushing base (31, 131) is of spherical shape to produce a polished fiber end face (14) which is convex and which protrudes from the rigid sleeve (21) by less than about one micron, or is of flat shape to consistently produce a polished end face (14a) which is recessed within the sleeve ( 21a) by less than about one micron.

US Classification:

350 9620

Abstract:

An optical connector 1 comprising, an alignment ferrule 11 having a central passage 14 for aligning an optical fiber 3 of an optical fiber cable 2, a rear end 19 of the ferrule 11 for connection to an optical fiber cable 2, a radially enlarged collar 20 surrounding the ferrule 11, a circumferential groove 23 in the ferrule 11, a coupling nut 26 moveable axially over the ferrule 11, a clearance 29 between the coupling nut 26 and the collar 20 in which the collar 20 is retracted to compress the spring 28, the ferrule 11 is unitary with the transverse front face 22 and the rear face 24 of the collar 20, the ferrule 11 and the collar 20 are molded from a rigid plastic material, and the collar 20 includes mold gate flash 48 on the molded plastic material only at locations along the clearance 29 between the collar 20 and the coupling nut 26.

International Classification:

G02B 636

US Classification:

350 9620

Abstract:

A connector for an optical fiber cable includes a strain relief structure provided with a first annular retention member (16) having a first bearing surface (51c) cooperating with a jacket retention portion (63) of an annular retention sleeve (18) for retaining the outer jacket (33) of the cable (25), and a second bearing surface (44) of an annular retention member (17) cooperating with a strengthening layer retention portion (61) of an annular retention sleeve (18) for retaining the inner strengthening layer (33) of the cable.

Appl. No.:

14/822049

Inventors:

John Barton Huber - Cincinnati OH, US

International Classification:

B08B 3/02
B08B 17/02
A01K 45/00

Abstract:

A water exchange device for a birdbath comprises a stanchion and a head. A first passageway extends entirely through the length of the stanchion body from an upper end to a lower end. Also, at least one stanchion duct extends from the first passageway exiting the stanchion body at a stanchion duct aperture. The head is fixedly secured to the stanchion body so as to be positioned spaced from, and not covering the stanchion duct aperture(s). A second passageway extends from a base of the head into the head body forming a through connection with the first passageway. The head also includes at least one head duct extending from the second passageway in an angled direction toward the base of the head body, exiting the head body at a head duct aperture.
