Abstract: A cable guide arrangement for a cable winch has a housing to be mounted relative to a cable winch such that a first end of housing faces the cable winch and a second end of the housing faces away from the cable winch. A cable guide channel penetrates the housing and has a closed circumferential wall. The cable guide channel has a longitudinal center axis extending perpendicularly to the first and second ends of the housing. The cable guide channel has open end portions at the first and second ends of the housing, respectively. The open end portion of the guide channel at the second end of the housing widens in a direction away from the cable winch to form an inlet funnel having an edge portion defining a funnel opening. The inlet funnel reduces wear on the cable especially when being pulled at a slant to the center axis through the cable guide arrangement.
