Patent ID: 8509587

Claim:
A portable optical fiber processing apparatus, comprising: a holder to hold an optical fiber such that an end of the optical fiber protrudes a predetermined length therefrom, the holder sliding on a 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; wherein the holder is coupled to a rail provided on the main body and is moved by sliding means, and the sliding means comprises a motor installed in the main body, and a screw coupled both to an output shaft of the motor and to the holder such that the output shaft of the motor and the holder are operated in conjunction with each other, and wherein a distance at which the stripping blades are spaced apart from each other is within a range of l 2 ≦L≦l 2 +(li−l 2 )/3, wherein L=distance between the stripping blades; li=thickness of the optical fiber including a sheathing layer; and l 2 =thickness of the optical fiber other than the sheathing layer.
