Abstract:
1. A mounting device for mounting at least one electrical line on a structure of an aircraft or spacecraft, said mounting arrangement comprising: a rail, wherein the rail is formed with receiving portions having a constant cross-section in a longitudinal direction of the rail; at least one module which comprises at least one terminal for connecting the electrical line; and a substantially U-shaped holder which comprises a central portion for mounting the electrical line for strain relief thereof and two side portions which are connected to the respective ends of the central portion and carry the central portion with spacing from the at least one module, wherein the two side portions are adapted to be connected to central portions of different lengths; wherein each side portion of the substantially U-shaped holder comprises an engagement portion configured to engage one of the receiving portions so that the engagement portion is displaceable in relation to the rail in the longitudinal direction thereof, wherein movement of the side portions in relation to the rail in a transverse direction thereof and in a third spatial direction perpendicular to the longitudinal and transverse directions is prevented; wherein the length between the side portions is changeable according to the length of the central portion to be connected to the side portions, due to a sliding of the engagement portions toward or away from each other along the longitudinal direction of the rail for accommodating more or fewer than the at least one module, and thereby facilitating electrical connection to any number of electrical components of the aircraft; and wherein each receiving portion of the rail is configured to engage one of the engagement portions of the side portions of the holder with a positive fit.
