Device for Protecting and Guiding a Cable from a Direct-Vision Window of an Aircraft Flight Deck

Device for protecting and guiding at least one cable (22) that connects, on the one hand, a direct-vision window (10) of an aircraft cabin that is provided for blocking an opening (12), and, on the other hand, its support (14), whereby said direct-vision window (10) can move translationally according to a first translation (16), toward the inside of the cabin, so as to occupy an intermediate position that is offset relative to the support (14), then according to a second release translation (18), so as to release the opening (12), characterized in that it comprises a cable chain (26) that can deform along a winding plane and protect and guide said cable (22), on both sides of said cable chain (26), a first support (28) that is articulated relative to the direct-vision window (10) so as to be able to pivot around an axis of articulation (36) that is essentially parallel to the release translation (18), and a second support (30) that is articulated relative to the support (14) so as to be able to pivot around an axis of articulation (38) that is essentially parallel to the release translation (18), and in that the first and second supports (28, 30) have a square cross-section, whereby one side of the square can be used as a support to the cable chain (26), and the other side is used as a protective element of the cable chain and is articulated at the level of its free edge or relative to the direct-vision window or relative to the support of the direct-vision window.
