Abstract
A line routing device is provided in order to allow simple, reliable electrical linking, in particular of a motor-vehicle sliding door to a vehicle power supply system. The line routing device includes a housing having a movement opening which extends in longitudinal direction and an outlet opening. A movement element is movably mounted in the movement opening and the cable as well as a spring strip, which is bent in a U-shape, are attached to the movement element. The cable is routed along the spring strip to the outlet opening and an end of the spring strip, which is remote from the movement element, is fixed to the housing.
