Abstract
Tool means for severing an optical fiber which comprises first and second members joined together by pivotal connecting means for movement between opened and closed terminal positions. The members each have first portions spaced opposite to each other for providing handle means for moving the members between their opened and closed terminal positions and second portions which are spaced opposite to each other and move closer as the members assume their closed terminal position. The surface of a resilient element carried by the second portion of the first member supports thereon an optical fiber which is to be severed, and a blade means secured with its second portion of the second member has a cutting edge for engaging and inflicting a flaw on the optical fiber when the members are actuated by the handle means to assume their closed terminal position. A pair of resilient pad units are each secured with a respective one of the second ends of the members for receiving therebetween a fiber having an inflicted flaw on its surface for applying compressive force to the fiber for completing the severing operation.
