A light emission device is used for a casing of the game device. This light emission device comprises a light source disposed in the casing, and a light guiding member having a plate-like shape, the light guiding member being configured to guide light emitted from the light source and being attached to the casing. The light guiding member comprises a reflecting unit configured to reflect the light incident from a first direction along a thickness direction of the light guiding member to a direction different from the first direction to diffuse the light in the interior of the light guiding member; and a light emission part configured to transmit the light reflected from the reflecting unit to outside from a surface of the light guiding member.

An assembly tool is provided for installing an optical fiber in an optical fiber connector having a known length of fiber extending from the connector ferrule after termination of the optical fiber connector. The assembly tool includes a base having a connector mount disposed on a first end thereof and a cradle that holds a shaped ferrule disposed near the second end of the base, such that shaped ferrule is resiliently held within the cradle. The connector mount is configured to receive and secure the optical fiber connector to the base.

The present invention is directed to improving the yield in fiber terminating processing, and to preventing the occurrence of transmission loss due to stress concentration at an optical fiber bend or due to variations in ambient temperature. In one exemplary embodiment, a channel is sandwiched between adhesive layers and an optical fiber is passed through the channel.
