CA 2319772

The invention concerns a device for connecting/disconnecting two individual optical fibres (3, 4) comprising: two ferrules (1, 2) each having a front surface (5, 6), a connection groove (12) wherein the two ferrules can be engaged facing each other, two axial retaining means (13, 14) to restrict the axial movements of one ferrule relative to the connection groove, in a direction opposite to the engagement direction in said groove, an elastic member (17) pushing back one of the ferrules (1) to press the front surfaces of the two ferrules against each other during the connection. For disconnection, the device has an unlocking key for neutralising the axial retaining means (14) of one of the ferrules (2), and the elastic member (17) is so arranged that, when the unlocking key neutralises the retaining means, it drives back the ferrule outwards from the alignment sleeve and brings about the disconnection.

Dispositif de connexion/déconnexion de deux fibres optiques individuelles (3, 4) comprenant: deux ferrules (1, 2), chacune ayant une face frontale (5, 6), un canal de connexion (12) dans lequel les deux ferrules peuvent s'engager en vis-à-vis, deux moyens de rétention axiale (13, 14), pour limiter les déplacements axiaux d'une ferrule par rapport au canal de connexion, dans une direction opposée à sa direction d'engagement dans ledit canal, un organe élastique (17) repoussant une des ferrules (1) pour appliquer les faces frontales des deux ferrules l'une contre l'autre lors de la connexion. Il comporte, pour la déconnexion, une clé de déverrouillage apte à neutraliser le moyen de rétention axiale (14) d'une des ferrules (2) et l'organe élastique (17) est agencé pour, lorsque la clé de déverrouillage neutralise le moyen de rétention, repousser la ferrule vers l'extérieur du manchon d'alignement et provoquer la déconnexion.
