Receptacle for light waveguide splice connections having adhesive glue gripping means

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The object of the present invention is to provide a holding of light waveguides in a particularly simple and gentle way.
This is achieved in accordance with the present invention by an improvement in a holding means or receptacle for splice connections of light waveguides which are arranged in guide grooves of a splicing plate.
The improvement comprises providing zones coated with an adhesive glue that forms a gripping means for holding the light waveguides in a fashion of a slicing comb in the guide grooves.
These zones are provided in the region of the entry locations for the light waveguides into the splicing plate.
The only additional cost thus required by the present invention is the application of the adhesive glue which can be applied in a simple work step.
Since the holding by the gripping means of the adhesive glue does not lead to any greater mechanical stressing of the light waveguides, it assures that no inadmissible high mechanical stresses are exerted on the optical waveguides.
A particularly advantageous improvement of the invention is characterized in that the receptacle is provided with a depression running at right angles relative to the light waveguides.
The floor or base of this depression is coated with the adhesive glue.
In this way, adhesion regions for the light waveguides, which are defined with particular clarity, are produced and the introduction of the adhesive glue into this depression can also be executed in a simple and reliable fashion.
Other objects and advantages of the present invention will be readily apparent from the drawings, following description and claims.
