Abstract
Disclosed is a device for adjusting an optical fiber (1) or an optical fiber bundle relative to a coupling point. Said device comprises a holding apparatus (2) for the fiber/s (1) and a mechanism (3) for positioning the fiber/s (1) in said holding apparatus (2). The positioning mechanism (3) is provided with at least two positioning members (4) which act upon the fiber/s (1) at different angles, the position of the fiber/s (1) relative to the holding apparatus (2) being modifiable by actuating said at least two positioning members (4). The inventive device is characterized in that the positioning members (4) which are effective at different angles are disposed next to each other in the holding apparatus (2) in order to be actuated from one side while at least one of the positioning members (4) acts upon the fiber/s (1) via a lever assembly (5).
