Abstract
A system for pivoting a coupling component for an outrigger, for a coupling between a tractor unit and a semi-trailer includes a rotation configured to pivot the coupling component between a primary position and a secondary position, and at least one line, which is guided into the coupling component via the rotation device, wherein the system is configured such that the at least one line forms a loop in the primary position in a defined area, and the loop is reduced in size when pivoted to the secondary position.

A system for pivoting a coupling component for a coupling between a tractor unit and a semitrailer, comprising:
- a rotation device configured to pivot the coupling component between a primary position and a secondary position;
- and
- at least one line configured to be guided via the rotation device into the coupling component;
- wherein the at least one line is guided through an opening in the rotation device;
- wherein the rotation device comprises a cable guide for guiding the at least one line;
- wherein a collar element projecting from the rotation device forms part of the cable guide;
- wherein the collar element is interrupted on a side facing the opening or has an indentation;
- and
- the at least one line forms a loop in the primary position in a defined area, and the loop is reduced in size when pivoted to the secondary position.
A method for pivoting a coupling component for a coupling between a tractor unit and a semitrailer, comprising:
- providing a rotation device configured to be pivoted by the coupling component between a primary position and a secondary position;
- and
- providing at least one line which is guided into the coupling component via the rotation device;
- wherein the at least one line is guided through an opening in the rotation device;
- wherein the rotation device comprises a cable guide for guiding the at least one line;
- wherein a collar element projecting from the rotation device forms part of the cable guide;
- wherein the collar element is interrupted on a side facing the opening or has an indentation;
- and
- wherein the at least one line forms a loop in the primary position in a defined region, and the loop is reduced in size when pivoted into the secondary position.
