OPTICAL CONNECTOR CLEANING TOOL

An optical connector cleaning tool includes a cleaning tool main body (3), a feed-side bobbin (13), a cleaning head (cleaning portion), a winding-side bobbin (14), a moving body (5) that moves at the time of cleaning, a feed mechanism (2) that sends an unused cleaning medium (6) in synchronism with the moving body (5), and a winding mechanism (21) that drives the winding-side bobbin (14). The feed mechanism (2) moves a turn-back portion at one point where the cleaning medium is turned back in a direction to separate from the winding-side bobbin (14). The winding mechanism (21) includes a driving piece (28) that engages with a rotation body (25) of the winding-side bobbin (14). The driving piece (2) slips with respect to the rotation body (25) when a load to press engaging projections (26) of the rotation body (25) has reached a predetermined load. The predetermined load is a load higher than a load generated when winding the cleaning medium (6) drawn out by the feed mechanism (2), and a load lower than a load generated when the winding-side bobbin (14) rotates to draw the cleaning medium (6) out of the feed-side bobbin (13).It is possible to provide an optical connector cleaning tool that can wind a cleaning medium of a predetermined length with a simple structure and also reduces the resistance when drawing out the cleaning medium of the predetermined length.
