In a cable routing device having a cable carrier and a guiding device for the cable carrier, wherein the cable carrier has a first strand connected to a first connector and a second strand connected to a second connector, which are connected to one another via a rerouting area, and the guiding device having a contact area for the stationary contact of at least one part of one of the strand is provided for a secure contact of the corresponding part of the strand with the contact area and for preventing sliding friction, the cable carrier having at least one magnet, and the contact area having a ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic material, wherein the magnet interacts with the contact area in a predetermined positioning area of the cable carrier relative to the guiding device such that the strand having the magnet adheres to the contact area with a predetermined magnetic attractive force.

A cable routing structure includes a plurality of cables that are superposed on one another and that are movable relatively to one another in length directions thereof, and a line length difference housing case that contains parts of the plurality of cables and is movable in a reciprocating direction. The line length difference housing case absorbs differences in line length among the plurality of cables generated in accordance with a moving position of the line length difference housing case.

An apparatus includes a cable track configured to be coupled to a moveable object and to be pushed and pulled by the movable object without buckling. The cable track is also configured to transport at least one signal or material to or from the moveable object. The cable track has a curved profile. A cross-section of the cable track showing a height, a width, and a thickness of the cable track can have a “(” shape. The cable track can be configured to be bent in order to create a “U” bend in the cable track, and the cable track can be configured to be pushed and pulled without buckling to change a location of the “U” bend along the cable track. The cable track can be configured to change shape repeatedly between a “J” shape and a “U” shape.

A telescoping actuator may be used with a charging station or other solution. The telescoping actuator can include a telescoping assembly that is hollow to thereby facilitate running wires or cables through the telescoping assembly. The telescoping actuator may also include a pulley system that enables the telescoping assembly to be extended and retracted without unduly occupying the hollow interior of the telescoping assembly.

A device for guiding long objects comprises a plurality links. Each link has a pair of link portions that face each other in a first direction. The links are disposed and respectively connected in series along a second direction. Each pair of link portions is connected by a respective pair of arms at the two ends of the respective link in a third direction. In the accommodation space enclosed and formed by each pair of link portions and the respective pair of arms, a long object is accommodated. Two link portions that are adjacent in the second direction are connected by coupling portions. The coupling portions are configured from a second material with a higher wear resistance than the first material that configures the respective link portions. A space is formed between the two link portions on the entire circumference of the coupling portions.

An electrical outlet mounting apparatus having a plurality of arms being rotatably connected to each other in a sequence and being collapsible into a collapsed position and extendable into an extended position. The plurality of arms including a channel on the interior of each of the arms that can receive an electrical cord. The mounting apparatus having a mounting plate rotatably attached to the plurality of arms and having one or more electrical connections electrically connected to the electrical cord.

A system for protecting cables and lines is provided. The system includes a telescopic C-arm and a cable carrier. The telescopic C-arm includes an outer C-arm, an inner C-arm, an outer carriage, and an inner carriage. The outer C-arm, on an outer surface of the outer C-arm, is arranged in a displaceable manner along the outer carriage. The inner C-arm, on an outer surface of the inner C-arm, is arranged in a fixed or displaceable manner on the inner carriage. The inner carriage is arranged in a displaceable manner along an inner surface of the outer C-arm. The cable carrier connects the outer carriage and the inner carriage. The cable carrier accommodates the cables and the lines and is configured to move freely between the outer C-arm and the inner C-arm.

An energy supply system includes a cable store for winding and unwinding an energy cable about a winding center of the cable store. A carrier is provided for the at least one energy cable, and the cable store has an opening for the inlet and outlet of the carrier and the energy cable. The carrier can be guided through the opening in order to guide the carrier and the energy cable in sections in the cable store to the winding center of the cable store over a first guide path through a first guide arc, over a second guide path, which adjoins the first guide arc, through a second guide arc, and over a third guide path, which adjoins the second guide arc and lies further inwards relative to the winding center than the first guide path, and optionally over additional guide paths and guide arcs, using guiding means.

An apparatus for limiting a movement of a wiring harness includes a binding unit configured to bind the wiring harness electrically connected to a moving component configured to be movable relative to a vehicle body, the binding unit configured to be movable according to a movement of the moving component, and a guide track configured to guide a movement of the binding unit, wherein the guide track defines a movement path of the binding unit.

Techniques involve a device which includes an energy chain and a sliding table, the energy chain having a plurality of sliding shoes, each having a sliding surface for sliding on the sliding table. The sliding shoes each have a detection element, which is spaced from the corresponding sliding surface by a wearing layer. The sliding table has a sensor for determining the distance (d) between the sensor and the detection elements.
