Abstract

The invention relates to a cable loom, in particular for use in a motor vehicle, the cable loom comprising at least one electrical cable and a stretching device longitudinally engaging at least a section of the cable loom, wherein the stretching device exerts a force aligning the cable loom so as to be substantially free of curvature on the portion of the cable loom engaged by the stretching device.

Claims (25)

1. A cable loom comprising at least one electrical cable and a stretching device longitudinally engaging at least a section of the cable;

wherein the stretching device exerts a force aligning the cable so as to be substantially free of curvature on the portion of the cable engaged by the stretching device;

wherein the cable loom is arranged at least partly in a cable stowage bag that comprises a pouch having a first aperture and a second aperture; and

wherein the pouch is produced from one or more layers of flexible fabric material and/or foil material.

2. A cable loom in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the stretching device is arranged so as to only partially surround the periphery of the cable loom.

3. A cable loom in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the cable loom is part of a cable harness that is bundled by at least one enveloping element.

4. A cable loom in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the stretching device comprises at least one steel spring.

5. A cable loom in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the portion of the cable loom which is arranged in die interior of the cable stowage bag extends substantially in One plane.

6. A cable loom in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the extent of the portion of the cable loom which is arranged in the interior of the cable stowage bag forms a loop.

7. A cable loom in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the cable loom is fixed wit respect to a movement through one of the apertures.

8. A cable loom comprising at least one electrical cable and a stretching device longitudinally engaging at least a section of the cable;

wherein the stretching device exerts a force aligning the cable so as to be substantially free of curvature on the portion of the cable engaged by the stretching device;

wherein the cable loom is arranged at least partly in a cable stowage bag that comprises a vouch having a first aperture and a second aperture; and

wherein the cable stowage bag is installed in the roof of a vehicle.

9. A method of stowing a cable loom that includes at least one electrical cable, the method comprising the steps of:

providing a stiffening device to longitudinally engage at least a section of the cable so as to exert a force aligning the cable in a desired orientation;

arranging the cable loom at least partly in a cable stowage bag that comprises a pouch produced from one or more layers of flexible fabric material, the pouch having a first aperture and a second aperture.

10. A cable loom-comprising at least one electrical cable and a stiffening device longitudinally engaging at least a section of the cable;

wherein the stiffening device exerts a force aligning the cable along a desired curvature on the portion of the cable engaged by the stiffening device;

wherein the cable loom is arranged at least partly in a cable stowage bag that comprises a pouch having a first aperture and a second aperture; and

wherein the pouch is produced from one or more layers of flexible fabric material and/or foil material.

11. A cable loom comprising at least one electrical cable and a stiffening device longitudinally engaging at least a section of the cable;

wherein the stiffening device exerts a force aligning the cable along a desired curvature on the portion of the cable engaged by the stiffening device;

wherein the cable loom is arranged at least partly in a cable stowage bag that comprises a pouch having a first aperture and a second aperture; and

wherein the cable stowage basis installed in the roof of a vehicle.
