ABSTRACT:
A tool (20) for manipulating an optical fiber splicing device (28) so as to release the fiber ends (30--30) from the splicing device (28) in a manner which allows the same splicing device (28) to be used more than once. The tool (20) includes a body section (22), a spring and lever assembly section (24) and a splice holding and manipulating section (26). The splice holding and manipulating section (26) provides means to hold the splicing (28) to the body section (22) of tool (20). In addition, this section (26) comprises a series of tapered prongs (92) which are aligned so that each prong may be wedged between a housing (82) of the splicing device (28) and a latching mechanism (88) of the splicing device (28). The spring and lever assembly section (24) interacts with the splice holding and manipulating section (26) to control the motion of the tapered prongs (92). The mechanical operation of section (24) is relatively similar to that of the motion control mechanism used in fingernail clippers.
