Abstract
The invention relates to a holding apparatus for splice protection devices with splices, accommodated in the splice protection devices, of optical waveguides, with a base wall and a plurality of separating elements which engage on the base wall, the separating elements demarcating accommodating regions from one another which run substantially parallel to one another for in each case at least one splice protection device. According to the invention, at least some accommodating regions are delimited at least one longitudinal side by in each case at least one first separating element, which has a dimensionally stable section and at least one elastically deformable section, the dimensionally stable section engaging on the base wall, the or each elastically deformable section engaging on the dimensionally stable section in such a way that the former protrudes, in an unformed initial position, into the respective accommodating region while reducing the effective width thereof and can be elastically deformed out of the initial position while enlarging the effective width of the respective accommodating region for the purpose of inserting a splice protection device into the respective accommodating region.
