Claim 0:
1. A device for cleaning optical fiber, comprising:
a cleaning material holder, comprising a container with an internally mounted axle which supports a roll of cleaning material, where said axle is mechanically coupled with a control knob which is externally mounted to a side region of the container, where the container has a region which opens to provide access for installing said cleaning material, and a front region has a horizontal aperture;
a folding cleaning surface stand, where one half is stationary and another half moves about a plurality of hinges located at a junction interface region between the two halves, and the stationary half is connected to the cleaning material holder on the front region of said material holder, where a top region of the stationary half is located beneath and adjacent the horizontal aperture;
a liquid cleaning agent container with an integrated spray pump dispenser, located on the cleaning material holder, where said pump dispenser disburses cleaning agent onto the cleaning surface stand;
a cleaning material retainer, located on the cleaning surface stand, with a rotating surface element;
a pair of deformable pads which are inlaid to the cleaning stand surfaces, and which contact optical fibers to form a contact surface between the device and the optical fibers being cleaned;
a serrated edge, located on the mobile half of the cleaning surface stand, on a side opposite the contact surface, which provides a means for separating disposable sections of cleaning material; and,
a tab connected to the mobile half of the cleaning stand, which provides a gripping location for manual actuation of the mobile half.
