Enclosure for a lasing device
First Claim
1. An attachable enclosure for a lateral lasing device which device includes a fiber optic with a distal end adapted for emitting a laser beam and an exposed lateral reflector for the laser beam opposite the distal end of the fiber optic and connected thereto by an elongated mounting stem, the enclosure comprising:
- an elongated body having a head portion and a tail portion, the elongated body defining a longitudinal flute for receiving the mounting stem within the body;
means for immobilizing the mounting stem when it is received within the elongated body;
the immobilizing means having a spring disposed between the elongated body and the mounting stem when the mounting stem is received within the elongated body, the spring applying an immobilizing pressure to the mounting stem; and
a hollow envelope, having an open end and a fluid exit port, removably mounted to the head portion at its open end, the hollow envelope being dimensioned to surround the lateral reflector and being in fluid flow communication with the longitudinal flute through the open end of the elongated body.

Abstract
An attachable enclosure for a lateral lasing device comprising a fiber optic for emitting a laser beam and an exposed reflector for laterally reflecting the laser beam opposite the distal end of the fiber optic. The enclosure comprises an elongated body having a head portion with an open end and a tail portion. The elongated body defines a longitudinal flute for receiving and immobilizing the mounting stem of the lateral lasing device within its body. The hollow envelope has an open end and a fluid exit port, and is removably mounted to the head portion of the elongated body at its open end. The hollow envelope is dimensioned to surround the laser beam reflector and is in fluid flow communication with the longitudinal flute through the open end of the hollow envelope.
