ABSTRACT:
A connector for light-conductive fibers includes a connecting body provided with at least one receiving passage and at least two aligning passages. The connecting body is subdivided into two connecting members along a plane normal to the axes of the passages, the connecting members having contact surfaces at the subdividing plane which are adapted to abut one another when the two connecting members are assembled. The end portions of the light-conducting fibers are introduced into the receiving passages so that the end faces thereof are flush with the contact surfaces, and the connecting members are assembled in alignment with one another, using aligning elements accommodated in the aligning passages of the connecting members. The connecting body may be produced by embedding auxiliary elements corresponding in diameters to the aligning elements and the fibers, in a body of a hardenable material, and by removing the auxiliary elements from the body after the hardening of the material. The assembled connecting body is accommodated in a housing which includes a hollow cylindrical socket having an externally threaded portion, a coupling nut of cup-shaped configuration which has an internal thread engaging the threaded portion of the socket, and a cover member received between the socket and the nut, which has a flanged configuration and which closes the open end of the socket. Elastically yieldable support means may be used for supporting the connecting body in the housing.
