ABSTRACT:
There is provided a coating stripper for optical fibers comprising a pair of clamp members each having a matching surface provided with a coating cutting edge, a coating pinching section and a coating holding section arranged in line on said matching surface with said coating pinching section located between said coating cutting edge and said coating holding section, any neighboring ones of said coating cutting edge, said coating pinching section and said coating holding section being contiguous with each other, each of said pair of coating cutting edges, said pair of coating pinching sections and said pair of coating holding sections being swingable relative to each other, both of said pair of coating pinching sections being made of a hard material, at least either of said pair of coating holding sections being made of a soft material and provided with a heater arranged in it. Such a stripper can securely clamp an end portion of a coated optical fiber and ensures good thermal insulation at and around the cutting lines of the coating layers, easy separation of the split coating layers and consequently an excellent performance of operation of removing an end portion of the coating layers of a coated optical fiber.
