US Patent:

6763172, Jul 13, 2004
Filed:

May 16, 2002
Appl. No.:

10/147159
Inventors:

Jennifer J. Sahlin - Minneapolis MN
Robert M. Biegler - Woodbury MN
Assignee:

3M Innovative Properties Company - Saint Paul MN
International Classification:

G02B 600
US Classification:

385137
Abstract:

An offset clip for use with light fiber has a base including a hole for accommodating a fastener. The clip also includes an insert with a light fiber retaining member. The light fiber retaining member may take any of several forms and may be either rigid or flexible. The insert and the base are held rotatably together by a locking mechanism. The insert and the base are arranged such that when the insert is inserted into the base, the insert hides the fastener from view.

Filed:

May 21, 2001
Appl. No.:

09/862164
Inventors:

Jennifer Sahlin - Minneapolis MN, US
International Classification:

G02B006/04
US Classification:

385/115000, 385/147000, 385/901000
Abstract:

The invention is directed to techniques for bundling multiple light guides and various apparatuses and systems for implementing the techniques. For example, the cross sectional shape of multiple light guides can be modified at first ends of the guides. The first ends can be placed in intimate contact to define a bundle. In this manner, the amount of light that enters the guides can be increased, resulting in a more efficient use of light. In addition, by removing the cladding from the light guides in the location where the respective guides are bundled, light is allowed to distribute between the multiple light guides as light transmits down the initial portion of the bundle. In this manner, light can be more readily homogenized.

Filed:

Oct 1, 2001
Appl. No.:

09/969272
Inventors:

Jennifer Sahlin - Minneapolis MN, US
Steven Vanhoose - Stillwater MN, US
Kenneth Wanned - Hugo MN, US
Stephen Randall - North St. Paul MN, US
International Classification:

G02B006/00
US Classification:

385/134000, 385/137000, 385/147000
Abstract:

A support channel for a light fiber includes a fiber support member designed to partially circumscribe a light fiber, first and second legs, and first and second feet at the ends of the first and second legs. The fiber support member includes first and second sides and a flexure region between the first and second sides. The first and second sides join the fiber support member at the intersections of the flexure region with the first and second sides, respectively.
