FIBER OPTIC ADAPTER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240036265 titled 'FIBER OPTIC ADAPTER

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a fiber optic adapter that consists of an outer housing, a receiving seat, and a blocking mechanism. The outer housing has two connection slots, while the receiving seat is detachably connected to the outer housing and has two through grooves that communicate with the connection slots. The blocking mechanism includes a pivot shaft, a torsion spring on the pivot shaft, and two cover plates connected pivotally to the pivot shaft and to the ends of the torsion spring. When the cover plates are in a blocking position, they block the connection slots and are inclined relative to the central axis of the slots, with the free end of each cover plate being further towards the rear than the pivot shaft.

  • The fiber optic adapter has an outer housing with two connection slots.
  • The receiving seat is detachably connected to the outer housing and has two through grooves that communicate with the connection slots.
  • The blocking mechanism consists of a pivot shaft, a torsion spring, and two cover plates.
  • The cover plates are connected pivotally to the pivot shaft and to the ends of the torsion spring.
  • When the cover plates are in a blocking position, they block the connection slots and are inclined relative to the central axis of the slots.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Fiber optic communication systems
  • Telecommunications networks
  • Data centers
  • Medical imaging devices
  • Industrial automation

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Ensures secure and reliable connection of fiber optic cables
  • Prevents accidental disconnection or damage to the cables
  • Provides a compact and efficient design for fiber optic adapters

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved signal transmission in fiber optic systems
  • Easy installation and maintenance of fiber optic connections
  • Enhanced durability and protection for fiber optic cables
  • Cost-effective solution for fiber optic connectivity


Original Abstract Submitted

a fiber optic adapter includes an outer housing, a receiving seat, and a blocking mechanism. the outer housing defines two connection slots. the receiving seat is connected detachably to the outer housing, and defines two through grooves respectively in spatial communication with the connection slots. the blocking mechanism includes a pivot shaft, a torsion spring sleeved on the pivot shaft, and two cover plates connected pivotally to the pivot shaft and respectively connected to two opposite ends of the torsion spring. when each cover plate is in a blocking position, the cover plate blocks a respective connection slot, and is inclined relative to a central axis of the respective connection slot with a free end thereof being more towards the rear than the pivot shaft, and with an angle that is defines between the cover plate and the central axis being not a right angle.
