  • Patent number: 7262372
    Abstract: Leadthrough elements for waterproof or airtight leading through of one or several lines are often associated with a disadvantage in that the led-through lines are routed largely without protection, and in that the tight seal between the leadthrough element and the line deteriorates in the course of mechanical loads being exerted on the lines. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a leadthrough element is provided in which each line exits in such a way from the top of the leadthrough element that the line after exiting runs flat along the top of the leadthrough element. By integrating this leadthrough element in a floor panel of an aircraft, in particular an Airbus A380, an advantageous seal of the line leadthrough is ensured, wherein the leadthrough element protects the line against increased mechanical loads, and thus ensures a permanent seal of the line leadthrough, with said seal meeting the quality requirements of the aircraft industry even in the case of increased mechanical loads.
