AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This solution significantly reduces reconfiguration time, enabling aircraft cabin layouts to be adapted within a night, enhancing operational efficiency by allowing rapid changes between different class configurations without the need for extensive manual adjustments.

Problems solved by technology

Because modern passenger seats are equipped with several electronic devices, it is not enough to change just the seat position, but also the connection of the electronic data and power cables.
As a result for this complicated system, the duration to reconfigure the cabin layout is quite long and complicated.

Embodiment Construction

[0069] The examples described and drawings rendered are illustrative and are not to be read as limiting the scope of the invention as it is defined by the appended claims.

[0070] Similar or relating components in the several figures are provided with the same reference numerals.

[0071] The views in the figures are schematic and not full-scaled.

[0072]FIG. 1 shows a conventional raceway 1. The raceway of FIG. 1 comprises a bottom part 2 and an upper part 3 which may be fixed together and wherein several cables may be embedded. With the raceway 1, it may not be possible to adjust the length of the raceway 1 flexibly, because the raceway outlets may not be changed.

[0073]FIG. 2 shows a conventional connection system, wherein an electronic device 4 is connected by means of several cables 5 that may be embedded in a raceway 1. As shown in FIG. 2, the cables 5 leave the raceway 1 on a defined position in order to connect the electronic device 4. Changing the position of the electronic dev...

Abstract

A connection system for cables comprises a raceway adapted to cover the cable and a raceway outlet element connectable to the raceway. The raceway outlet element includes a first connection element for connecting the cable to second connection element.

Description

REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims the benefit of the filing date of the European Patent Application No. 05 013 505.2 filed Jun. 22, 2005, as well as of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 692,904 filed Jun. 22, 2005, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The field relates to a connecting device and a connecting method for cables, to a seat, to the use of a connection device in an aircraft, and to a means of transportation. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Cabin layouts for passenger aircrafts comprise usually three different types: first class, business class and economy class. In order to optimize the utilization of the capacity the aircraft, companies wish to change the cabin layout depending on how many reservations for each class are available. In order to receive a profitable and short reconfiguration time, the aircraft companies need to change the passenger seat configuration very quick...
