A wiring structure (10) includes: a fixed member (14); a movable member (12) which moves rectilinearly with respect to the fixed member (14); a wire material (16) which connects the movable member (12) and the fixed member (14); a movable guide (18) over which the wire material (16) is stretched and which can move rectilinearly with respect to the fixed member (14); and a movement mechanism (20) which causes the movable guide (18) to move, in conjunction with the rectilinear movement of the movable member (12), rectilinearly in a direction in which the loosening or tightening of the wire material (16) caused by the rectilinear movement of the movable member (12) is offset.

A cable routing apparatus, for supporting an electric charging cable, includes a mounting plate and a pulley-bracket assembly, which is pivotally attachable to the mounting plate. The pulley-bracket assembly includes a pulley support member having a pulley support plate and at least one pulley support arm extending downwardly from the support plate. The pulley-bracket assembly further includes a pulley wheel for supporting part of the cable thereon, and a pulley axle extending through a central hub of the pulley wheel. A housing may be provided for covering the pulley-bracket member, and parts of the pulley support member may, optionally, be integrated into the housing. A kit including two of the described cable routing apparatus along with an intermediate pulley bracket and other components, as well as a method of installing the kit in a garage to provide a cable routing system are also described.

A method for electrification of a field chopper comprising the steps of: providing a cable drum and a winding drive on the field chopper, the cable drum and winding drive allowing at least one of the winding and unwinding of an energy supply line about the cable drum; providing a cable arm on the field chopper, the cable arm configured to adjust in at least one of an orientation and extension length to provide guided winding or unwinding of the energy supply line along a field surface; providing a pivotable ejection chute on the field chopper, the ejection chute extending beyond the cable arm and configured to transfer a chopped harvested material onto a transport vehicle driving alongside the field chopper; unwinding the energy supply line while along a first processing strip from the cable drum using the winding drive and cable arm; and winding the energy supply while along a second processing strip about the cable drum using the winding drive and the cable.

A cable feeding unit (108) of a cable management system (100) comprising one or more feeding sections (200A, 200B, 200C, 200D, 302), having a body (202), a first side structure (208) and a second side structure (210), an inlet opening (212, 314) and an outlet opening (214) of a cable (124, 230, 410); one or more pairs of sheave rollers (216, 218, 220) attached between the first side structure and the second side structure; a cable feeding passage (222) formed at least between a rim part of the first sheave roller and a rim part of the second sheave roller of the one or more pairs of sheave rollers; one or more drives (160, 226A, 226B) connected to at least one of the sheave rollers; and one or more transmission mechanisms (224A, 224B) connecting the one or more drives with at least the first or second sheave roller.
