ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for connecting individual light waveguides characterized by providing a splicing element holder, a pair of spaced waveguide clamping devices which are spaced from the holder, securing a splicing element having a longitudinal extending centering groove with the base in the holder with the groove opening toward the clamping devices, clamping a light waveguide in each clamping device with an end portion of the waveguide extending toward the splicing element at an acute angle, moving either the holder toward the pair of clamping devices or the pair of clamping devices toward the holder to insert the ends of the pair of waveguides into the centering groove of the splicing element, to bring the end faces of the pair of waveguides into contact with each other, and to cause the end portions of the waveguides to bend and to move into the centering groove for alignment of the end portions and subsequently securing the aligned end portions in the splicing device.
