Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A  G

Claim 15:
16. A storage case that is configured to store a fusion splicer that splices optical fibers by heat melting, and an optical fiber cutter that cuts an optical fiber, the storage case comprising:
a base that includes a first placement surface configured to place the fusion splicer thereon, and opens in a normal direction of the first placement surface;
an optical fiber cutter holder including a second placement surface configured to place the optical fiber cutter thereon;
a lid connected to the base to be openable and closeable with respect to the base, the lid being configured to block an opening of the base when the lid is closed with respect to the base to define therein a space that stores the optical fiber cutter; and
the fusion splicer and the optical fiber cutter,
wherein the optical fiber cutter holder is connected to the lid to be rotatable around a rotating shaft from a first position at which the optical fiber cutter is in a storage state to a second position at which the optical fiber cutter is in a usable state,
a bottom surface of the fusion splicer is fixed to the first placement surface, and
a bottom surface of the optical fiber cutter is fixed to the second placement surface.
