Patent ID: 8092100

Claim:
A portable optical fiber processing apparatus, comprising: a base, providing a space in which components for processing an optical fiber are installed; a sheathing stripping unit, comprising: a main body mounted on the base, a holder to hold the optical fiber such that an end of the optical fiber protrudes a predetermined length therefrom, the holder sliding on the main body, and a removable unit, comprising a protruding support body protruding from the main body, a stripping cover hinged to the protruding support body, and a stripping tool provided on each of the protruding support body and the stripping cover at a position corresponding to a position at which the protruding end of the optical fiber is positioned between the protruding support body and the stripping cover, thus stripping sheathing from the end of the optical fiber, the stripping tools having protrusions respectively provided on the protruding support body and the stripping cover so as to be in contact with each other, and stripping blades provided in the respective protrusions at positions facing each other, an optical fiber cutting unit provided on the base, holding the optical fiber, and cutting a portion of the optical fiber, from which the sheathing is stripped, using a sliding cutter in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the optical fiber; wherein a distance at which the stripping blades are spaced apart from each other is within a range of I 2 ≦L≦I 2 +(li−I 2 )/3, wherein L=distance between the stripping blades; Ii=thickness of the optical fiber including a sheathing layer; and I 2 =thickness of the optical fiber other than the sheathing layer.
