Abstract: An optical connector cleaning tool includes a supply reel (11) having a belt-like cleaning cloth (3), and a winding bobbin (12) for winding the cleaning cloth (3). The optical connector cleaning tool also includes a housing (7) which rotatably supports the supply reel (11) and winding bobbin (12), a cleaning head (13) which comes in contact with the cleaning cloth (3), and a pressing member (5) which supports the cleaning head (13) and moves in a longitudinal direction with respect to the housing (7). The optical connector cleaning tool further includes a slide spring (53) which biases the pressing member (5) forward, and a transmission mechanism (33) which transmits an action of the pressing member (5) to the winding bobbin (12). The transmission mechanism (33) includes a rack (32) on the side of the pressing member (5), and a pinion on the side of the winding bobbin (12). When the pressing member (5) retreats with respect to the housing (7), the transmission mechanism (33) rotates the winding bobbin (12) in a winding direction so as to feed the cleaning cloth (3). This optical connector cleaning tool can easily clean an optical connector plug while achieving downsizing by using a simple structure.

Abstract: An optical connector cleaner comprising a supply reel, a take-up reel, a case, an operation lever, a take-up mechanism, and a holding member. The supply reel stores a cleaning cloth member having one end side wounded thereon. The take-up reel takes up the other end side of the cleaning cloth member. The case has a connector connection portion on which the cleaning cloth member is exposed. The operation lever that has an operation portion projecting from the case and is swingably supported. The take-up mechanism rotates the take-up reel in a take-up direction by a predetermined angle when the operation lever swings. The holding member holds an optical connector on the connector connection portion in a state in which a coupling face of the optical connector is pressed against the cleaning cloth member exposed to the connector connection portion.
