Summary:In an optical-fiber-spliced portion reinforcing heating device of the invention, a pressing force that is applied to a sleeve by a second force-applying member is greater than a tension that is applied to an optical fiber by a first force-applying member; in a state in which a tension is applied to the optical fiber by the first force-applying member, a backward movable range of one clamp that applies a tension is ensured in the longitudinal direction of the optical fiber and in a direction away from heater; and as a result of ensuring a forward movable range in which it can move toward the heater, one clamp moves in a direction in which a tension that is applied to the optical fiber as a result of pressing the sleeve by the heaters and by the second force-applying member is diminished.
