  • Patent number: 12103811
    Abstract: A length-adjustable cable device for wiring an aircraft cabin includes a cable and a cable drum with a cylindrical wall which is arranged around an axis of rotation and has an outwardly facing rolling-up surface. The first end of the cable is fastened to or arranged on the cable drum in such a manner that the first connection provided at the first end can be connected to a corresponding connection of another cable device. The cable is wound up onto the rolling-up surface in such a manner that it is unwound from the rolling-up surface by rotation of the cable drum about the axis of rotation thereof when the second end is moved away from the cable drum. The cable drum is configured for fastening to a cabin component of an aircraft cabin.

  • Patent number: 11322873
    Abstract: A connecting assembly for electrically connecting a ribbon cable in an aircraft. The assembly has a housing with a slot-shaped opening through which an end section of a ribbon cable can be inserted into a housing interior into a predetermined insertion position. The assembly has a first and a second engagement section which are arranged in the interior. The first engagement section is mounted such that it can be optionally moved between a first and a second position, such that by moving the first engagement section into its second position, the end section can be clamped tight optionally between the first second engagement sections and conductor tracks of the ribbon cable are then in contact with a corresponding number of electrical contacts provided on the first engagement section. In the second position, the first engagement section is releasably secured by a latching device.
