Attachment system for cables and support for cables used in aeronautic construction

1. A cable support, comprising:

a profiled structure having at least one longitudinally extending housing configured to receive cables and defining an opening between longitudinal walls of the housing through which said cables can be introduced into the housing, and

a cable-fastening system configured to maintain the cables in the housing, wherein the cable-fastening system includes a flexible sheet of elongated shape and the cable-fastening system is configured to fasten ends of said flexible sheet extending in a longitudinal direction to each other, wherein

the profiled structure is electrically conductive and provides a return path for a current flowing in said cables along a length of the structure, and

the flexible sheet is a composite sheet with a metal core to provide protection for the cables against electromagnetic interferences.

2. A cable support according to claim 1 , wherein the ends of the sheet extending in the longitudinal direction are fastened with either loops or hooks of a hook-and-loop system.

3. A cable support according to claim 1 , wherein each end of the sheet extending in the longitudinal direction is connected to a fastener such that fasteners on opposite ends are complementary to each other.

4. A cable support according to claim 3 , wherein the cable-fastening system is fixed at a bottom of the housing by adhesive bonding.

5. A cable support according to claim 3 , wherein the fastening system is fixed to the profiled structure by fixation lugs integral with the elongated sheet.

6. A cable support according to claim 1 , wherein the profiled structure includes structural fasteners configured to fasten said cable-fastening system to said profile structure, wherein said structural fasteners are complementary to the fasteners configured to fasten the ends to each other.

7. A cable support according to claim 1 , wherein the profiled structure is made of synthetic or composite material.

8. A cable support according to claim 7 , further comprising a conductive metal layer that at least partially covers said profiled structure.

9. A cable support according to claim 1 , wherein the support is configured to be used in an aircraft.

10. A cable support according to claim 1 , wherein the housing of the profiled structure is defined by a base plate and the longitudinal walls separated by said base plate, wherein said flexible sheet covers said base plate and said longitudinal walls, such that at least a number of the cables received in the housing contact said flexible sheet.

11. A cable support according to claim 10 , wherein said base plate and longitudinal walls have ends such that said cables extend longer than said ends of the base plate and the longitudinal walls, and wherein said flexible sheet extends longer than said ends of the base plate and the longitudinal walls to provide support for said cables beyond said ends of the base plate and the longitudinal walls.

12. A cable support according to claim 10 , wherein said base plate includes a first face facing said opening and a second face opposite said first face, and wherein said second face of said base plate is covered by an insulating material.

13. A cable support according to claim 1 , wherein the profiled structure is covered on a side opposite the at least one longitudinally extending housing with a layer of insulating material to insulate the structure.

14. A cable support according to claim 1 , wherein each housing of the at least one longitudinally extending housing is covered with a layer of insulating material to insulate the housing.

15. A cable support, comprising:

a profiled structure having at least one longitudinally extending housing configured to receive cables and defining an opening between longitudinal walls of the housing through which said cables can be introduced into the housing, and

a cable-fastening system configured to maintain the cables in the housing, wherein the cable-fastening system includes a flexible sheet of elongated shape and the system is configured to fasten ends of said flexible sheet extending in a longitudinal direction to each other, wherein

said flexible sheet has a core made of an electrically conductive material,

the housing of the profiled structure is defined by a base plate, and

the flexible sheet is a composite sheet with a metal core to provide protection for the cables against electromagnetic interferences.

16. A cable support according to claim 15 , wherein said profiled structure is free of any layer of insulating material between said base plate and said flexible sheet.

17. A cable support, comprising:

a profiled structure having a plurality of parallel longitudinally extending housings, each housing being configured to receive cables and defining an opening between longitudinal walls of the housings through which said cables can be introduced into the housing, and

a cable-fastening system configured to maintain the cables in the housings, wherein the cable-fastening system includes a flexible sheet of elongated shape that covers said plurality of housings, said flexible sheet having a first end being attached to a longitudinal wall of one of said housings and a second end being attached to a longitudinal wall of another one of said housings, such that said flexible sheet covers each opening of said plurality of housings in between the first end and the second end, wherein

the flexible sheet is a composite sheet with a metal core to provide protection for the cables against electromagnetic interferences.

18. A cable support according to claim 17 , wherein the profiled structure is covered on a side opposite the at least one longitudinally extending housing with a layer of insulating material to insulate the structure.

19. A cable support according to claim 17 , wherein each housing of the at least one longitudinally extending housing is covered with a layer of insulating material to insulate the housing.
