ABSTRACT:
A frame assembly for holding and orienting a fiber optic member is provided. The assembly comprises tubular means having a bore proportioned to slidingly receive a fiber optic member. The tubular means carries outwardly projecting flange means. U-shaped retainer means is proportioned to loosely receive the tubular means with the flange means being in essential contact with the retainer means. Accordingly, the fiber optic member may be moved with four degrees of freedom within the tubular means to occupy its desired position. Following this, it is affixed in that position by securing the fiber optic member to the tubular means and the flange means to the retainer means. Preferably, laser welding is used for each of the securing steps, since the system does not have to be touched or pushed in any way as the laser welding takes place.
