ABSTRACT:
Axial alignment of a pair of articles such as the ends of a pair of optical components is effected by an alignment device, which serves also as a connector. The alignment device employs a pair of sleeves, for holding the pair of articles, the sleeves being slidably and rotatably mounted in a pair of hingeably connected members. A pair of adjustment means disposed between the hinged members are used to move one of the members about the other member until the pair of articles are in axial alignment. An additional means is also included for locking the adjacent surfaces of the axially aligned pair of articles in a fixed position. Two embodiments of the device are disclosed.
