Claim 1
Independent Claim
196 words
A structure for attaching optical fibers in a photoelectric switch, comprising: an optical fiber supporting member (12) made of an elastic material which is attached to one side portion of a casing (20) of a photoelectric switch and formed with through holes (13, 14) for allowing optical fibers (32, 33) to pass and notches (13a, 13b, 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d, 14e) which are extended from peripheries of said through holes toward the outside in a radial direction; a fastening frame (16) which has a space enough to enclose said optical fiber supporting member and in which openings (17, 18) for allowing the optical fibers to pass are formed at the positions corresponding to said though holes of said optical fiber supporting member enclosed in said enclosing space and a screw hole (19) is formed in another plane which is perpendicular to a plane in which said openings are formed; and a pressing screw (31) for fixing the optical fibers which are pierced into the through holes to the optical fiber supporting member by pressing a part of the optical fiber supporting member when said pressing screw is screwed into the screw hole of the fastening frame.

A structure for attaching optical fibers in a photoelectric switch, comprising: an optical fiber supporting member (12) made of an elastic material which is attached to one side portion of a casing (20) of a photoelectric switch and formed with through holes (13, 14) for allowing optical fibers (32, 33) to pass and notches (13a, 13b, 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d, 14e) which are extended from peripheries of said through holes toward the outside in a radial direction; a fastening frame (16) which has a space enough to enclose said optical fiber supporting member and in which openings (17, 18) for allowing the optical fibers to pass are formed at the positions corresponding to said though holes of said optical fiber supporting member enclosed in said enclosing space and a screw hole (19) is formed in another plane which is perpendicular to a plane in which said openings are formed; and a pressing screw (31) for fixing the optical fibers which are pierced into the through holes to the optical fiber supporting member by pressing a part of the optical fiber supporting member when said pressing screw is screwed into the screw hole of the fastening frame.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
49 words
An attaching structure according to claim 1, wherein said optical fiber supporting member (12) has an engaging portion (15a) for the pressing screw, and the pressing screw has a flange (31a) which is come into engagement with said engaging portion and prevents that the pressing screw is pulled out.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
38 words
An attaching structure according to claim 1, wherein a detachable cover member (26) is provided for one side portion of the casing of the photoelectric switch, and said optical fiber supporting member is fixed to said cover member.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
An attaching structure according to claim 1, further comprising means (16a, 25, 25a) for attaching said fastening frame (16) to the casing of the photoelectric switch.
