  • Patent number: 12627097
    Abstract: An electrical equipotential connection device having: a connector (1) that includes: a first electrical connector element (2); at least one resilient tab (4); a socket (9) that includes: a contact surface (12); a second electrical connector element (20); at least one housing (14) suitable for cooperating with the at least one resilient tab (4); a disconnection track (17) adjacent to the housing (14) and extending substantially parallel to the insertion direction (21). The connector (1) is rotatable with respect to the base (9), about the insertion direction (21), between: a stable locking position in which the resilient tab (4) is inserted into the housing (14); an unlocking position in which the resilient tab (4) is resiliently deformed and disposed on the disconnection track (17).

  • Patent number: 12424832
    Abstract: Aircraft cable tray including: a profile section delimiting at least one cable guiding channel; a lateral lip having: a fixing through-orifice; an upper bearing surface which surrounds the fixing through-orifice; a lower bearing surface which surrounds the fixing through-orifice; a cable retention device (4) having: a base (7) equipped with a leg (8) inserted into the fixing through-orifice and including stop surfaces (18,20) positioned against the lower bearing surface and against the upper bearing surface; a piston (12) having a rod (10) immobilized relative to the base (7), this rod (10) being equipped at one of its ends with a foot (11) positioned in the cable guide channel.

  • Patent number: 12401177
    Abstract: An electrical barrier device (8) for an aircraft cable raceway, designed to be positioned where two profile sections (1, 2) meet, and including: at least one bottom-wall bridging base; at least one dielectric panel running transversely to the bottom-wall bridging base and with the bottom-wall bridging base delimiting a passage for cables; a translation-limiting stop fixed to a dielectric panel outside of the cable passage.

  • Publication number: 20250192532
    Abstract: A cable fastener for fastening at least one cable to a structure, a portion of which is movable between an initial position and a final position, this cable fastener including a base plate defining a reference plane and secured to the structure, and a cable clamp, this cable clamp being inserted into the base plate, this cable fastener having a return device arranged between the cable clamp and the base plate, and holds the cable clamp in a nominal position when the movable part of the structure is in its initial position. The cable clamp pivots about a pivot axis in the base plate from this nominal position when at least one of the cables is stressed in a direction by the movement of the movable part of the structure and pivots back to the nominal position under the effect of the return device when the cables are released.
