Abstract:
An optical fiber manufacturing apparatus includes a rotating mechanism including a holding member that holds one side of an optical fiber and a rotating member that rotates the holding member, the optical fiber including a glass fiber portion and a coating layer covering the glass fiber portion; a guiding member secured at a distance from the rotating mechanism and configured to retain the other side of the optical fiber loosely fitted therein; and a heating mechanism configured to heat a part of the glass fiber portion exposed and extending out of the coating layer, the part being interposed between the holding member and the guiding member. By rotating the rotating member counterclockwise by a given angle, the glass fiber portion is drawn from the guiding member and bent with a predetermined curvature while being heated.

Claim (Index 2):
The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein\n the holding member holds the glass fiber portion, with the coating layer therebetween, and the guiding member allows the glass fiber portion exposed and extending out of the coating layer to be loosely fitted therein.
