1. A device for positioning elongated elements, all having substantially the same diameter or largest dimension, as seen in a cross section, in particular optical fibers, against or next to a surface, aligned or next to each other and with longitudinal areas of the elements in contact with each other, comprising:

  • a slot having a width somewhat exceeding the diameter or the largest dimension and which is open at one side for receiving the elongated elements,a first surface forming an angle to the sides of the slot, anda second surface located close to the first surface at a uniform distance from this substantially corresponding to the diameter or the largest dimension, andfurther comprising an elastic heel which has an operative surface positioned at the connection region between the slot and the first and second surfaces and which is elastic in a direction which is substantially parallel to the first and second surfaces and substantially perpendicular to intersection lines between the side surfaces of the slot and the first and second surfaces.
