Abstract
A device for connecting individual light waveguides or conductors together using a splicing element which has a center portion for receiving and guiding the waveguides and end portions for engaging and gripping the sheath of the waveguides characterized by a pair of holders for holding light waveguides extending at an acute angle to a base of a splicing element which is held in a splicing element holder. The splicing element is movable relative to the ends of the fibers so that the ends of the individual light waveguides are moved towards one another in a centering groove of the center portion of the splicing element and are brought into mutual contact. Each of the holding devices for the light waveguides are mounted to move around a pivot, which lies beneath the plane of the waveguides when moved to a horizontal position and that each of the holders has a clamp for the portion of the light waveguide which is free of the sheath and for the sheath of the light waveguide. Preferably, each of the holders is movable so that a breaking device can operate on the waveguide held in the holder to obtain the desired length, and the splicing elements are designed with a second cover member which clampingly engages the waveguides in the centering groove.
