WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/051812

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

This optical fiber recoating device is equipped with an optical fiber recoating unit that cures a resin on a part of an optical fiber from which a coating has been removed and thereby recoats the optical fiber. The optical fiber recoating unit is provided with: an inner glass mold opening/closing section that comprises a pair of glass members having a groove formed therein and a pair of mounting bases on which each of the pair of glass members is mounted, and in which a cavity for coating an optical fiber is formed in said inner glass mold opening/closing section when the grooves of the pair of glass members are fit together while the pair of mounting bases are connected via a first hinge and the mounting bases are in a closed state; and an outer opening/closing section that comprises a pair of covers to which each of the pair of mounting bases is fitted and in which said pair of covers are connected via a second hinge, a magnet is provided to one of the pair of covers and a magnet catch is provided to the other of the pair of covers so that the pair of covers face each other when in a closed state, and a light source for curing resin that is used to coat an optical fiber placed in the inner glass mold opening/closing section is provided to each of the pair of covers. The inner glass mold opening/closing section and the outer opening/closing section are detachable. When the pair of covers are in the closed state, the pair of glass members are thrust together and the cavity is set to a tightening state as a result of the magnet attracting the magnet catch.
