Abstract
A device for mounting a flexible line including a curvature limiter. The device for mounting a flexible line on a structure, including a hollow rigid member forming part of the structure or fixed to the structure, and which the flexible line passes through after having been pulled with the aid of a pull cable fixed to one end of the flexible line, in particular on the end fitting mounted on the latter for connecting it to the structure, and a curvature limiter engaged on the flexible line and secured to fixing means able to interact with fixing means secured to the hollow rigid member for fastening the curvature limiter to the structure. The device further includes means for immobilizing the curvature limiter on the flexible line at a distance from the end of the latter during a first phase of pulling the flexible line at the end of which the curvature limiter is brought to the level of the mouth zone of the hollow rigid member for the purpose of fastening it, the hollow rigid member comprising, at least during the first pulling phase, a flared mouthpiece.
