Abstract
There is provided a device for dispensing optical fibers into helical grooves of a ring drawn through optical fiber cabling lines. The dispensing device comprises a holder rotating about the ring and including conduits each containing a grooved fiber-guide receiving at least one optical fiber. The fiber-guides are arranged along generating lines of a cone coaxial with the ring and have first fiber-output ends designed to engage in the ring grooves. To disengage the first ends of the fiber-guides from the ring grooves while feeding the ring through the cabling line, the fiber-guides are slidably mounted in the conduits and the device comprises a nut means enclosing a washer in which second ends of the fiber-guides radially, thereby translationally moving the fiber-guides along generating lines of the cone respectively.
