<p>1. A device for guiding a portion of cable or of a bundle of cables forming a connection between a fixed housing (1) and a movable part (2), carrying items of apparatus, the said movable part (2) being articulated to the said housing (1) of which the depth allows it to receive the said apparatus in the closed position, the said portion of cable connecting a lateral attachment point (6) on the fixed housing (1) to an attachment point (11) on the movable part (2), characterised by the fact that it comprises a guide member (13) carried by the fixed housing (1) in the neighbourhood of the associated attachment point (6), the said member being articulated on an axis (14) substantially perpendicular to the hinge axis (4) of the movable part (2), and means (15) tending to urge the said guide member constantly in a direction towards the inside surface of the fixed housing, the length of the portion of cable extending beyond the said guide member to the attachment point (11) on the movable part (2) remaining substantially constant throughout the range of angular movement of the said movable part, such that the path of the portion of cable from one attachment point to the other is under perfect control.</p> |
