A supply line reservoir in an appliance housing for connecting lines that enter the housing and connect to insertable and removable appliances that are accommodated within includes a spare length of the connecting line. This spare length is fixed within said housing in such a way that an-appliance can be taken out of the housing while maintaining a connection of the line. The spare length of connecting line is guided within said housing when the appliance is in said housing, and released from the housing when the appliance is taken out of said housing.

1. A supply line reservoir in an appliance housing for a connecting line that enters said housing and connects to an insertable and removable appliance that is accommodated in said appliance housing, wherein said connecting line comprises a first length and a second length, wherein said second length is a spare length, wherein said supply line reservoir comprises said spare length of said connecting line, wherein said spare length is fixed within said housing at a first location at a wall of said housing in such a way that enough slack remains for said appliance to be taken out of said housing while maintaining a connection of said connecting line to said appliance, wherein said supply line enters said housing at a second location, and wherein said first location is different from said second location, wherein said first length of said connecting line extends between said first location and said second location, and said second length of said connecting line extends between said first location and said appliance, wherein said spare length of said connecting line is an integral part of said connecting line such that said connecting line is one continuous connecting line that extends from outside said housing to said appliance, wherein said connecting line is directly connected to said appliance, wherein said spare length of said connecting line is guided within said housing when said appliance is in said housing, and wherein said spare length of said connecting line is outside said housing when said appliance is taken out of said housing. 2. The supply line reservoir according to claim 1, wherein said housing comprises a removal aperture, wherein said housing further comprises walls that define an inner three-dimensional volume that surrounds said appliance on all sides thereof, wherein said removal aperture is a two-dimensional aperture that is disposed to be opposite one of said walls, wherein said housing has a depth that extends from said removal aperture to said one of said walls, wherein said appliance is removed from said housing by being passed through said removal aperture, wherein said spare length of said connecting line is fixed to said appliance housing in a region of said removal aperture, and wherein said spare length passes through said removal aperture when said appliance is removed from said housing. 3. The supply line reservoir according to claim 1, wherein said spare length of said connecting line is fixed in said appliance housing by a stationary fastening element. 4. The supply line reservoir according to claim 3, wherein said fastening element comprises an eyelet that is fixed to a wall of said housing, wherein said eyelet is directly fastened to said wall of said housing, wherein said eyelet comprises a ring that protrudes into said housing, said ring defining a hole through which said connecting line passes. 5. The supply line reservoir according to claim 1, wherein said spare length of said connecting line is fixed in said appliance housing by a cable-tensioner that selectively applies tension to said connecting line and releases tension from said connecting line. 6. The supply line reservoir according to claim 5, wherein said cable-tensioner is arranged in a region of said appliance. 7. The supply line reservoir according to claim 5, wherein said cable-tensioner is arranged on said appliance. 8. The supply line reservoir according to claim 1, wherein said connecting lines comprises a hydraulic line. 9. The supply line reservoir of claim 1, wherein said appliance comprises a measuring instrument. 10. The supply line reservoir of claim 1, wherein said connecting line comprises an electrical line. 11. The supply line reservoir of claim 1, wherein said connecting line comprises a supply line. 12. The supply line reservoir of claim 1, wherein said connecting line comprises a data line. 13. The supply line reservoir of claim 1, wherein said appliance comprises a motor. 14. The supply line reservoir of claim 1, wherein said appliance comprises a sensor. 15. The supply line reservoir according to claim 5, wherein said cable tensioner comprises an elastic element that keeps one or more turns of said line under tension and prevents twisting thereof. 16. The supply line reservoir according to claim 5, wherein said cable tensioner is configured to release a length of said line in response to pulling on said line. 17. The supply line reservoir according to claim 1, wherein following entry into said housing, said supply line follows a path that has a first section and a second section, wherein said first section and said second path section meet at a wall of said housing. 18. The supply line reservoir according to claim 17, wherein said first section extends along a first path section, said second section extends along a second path section, wherein a distance between said wall and said first path section varies along said first path section, wherein a distance between said wall and said second path section varies along said second path section, and wherein a distance between said wall and said first path section and a distance between said wall and said second path section are at a minimum when said first path section and said second path section meet at said housing. 19. The apparatus of claim 17, wherein said first length and said second length are disposed such that pulling on said first section with a first force causes a second force in said second section, wherein said first force is directed toward said second location and away from said first location, and wherein said second force is directed away from said second location and toward said first location. 20. An apparatus for ensuring that sufficient slack in a connecting line remains after installation to enable an appliance to be removed from a housing, said apparatus comprising an appliance, a housing, and a connecting line, wherein said appliance is accommodated within said housing, wherein said appliance is removable from said housing through a two-dimensional removal aperture of said housing, wherein said connecting line has a first end that is connected to said appliance, and a second end that is connected to a point outside of said housing, wherein said connecting line is directly connected to said appliance, wherein said connecting line passes through said housing at a first location, wherein said connecting line is attached, at an attachment point, to said housing, wherein said attachment point is at a second location that differs from said first location, wherein a first length of said connecting line extends from said attachment point to a point outside said housing, wherein a second length of said connecting line extends from said attachment point to said appliance, wherein said second length defines a spare length of said connecting line for providing slack, wherein said apparatus transitions between a first state and a second state, wherein in said first state, said appliance is inside said housing, said spare length is inside said housing, and said appliance is connected to said connecting line, and wherein in said second state, said appliance is outside said housing, said spare length is outside said housing, and said appliance is connected to said connecting line. 21. The apparatus of claim 20, further comprising a fastening element fixed to a wall of said housing, wherein said line is fixed to a point of said wall by said fastening element. 22. The apparatus of claim 21, wherein said fastening element comprises an eyelet, wherein said eyelet comprises a ring that defines a hole through which said line passes, wherein said hole defines a plane having a normal vector, wherein said normal vector has a component parallel to said wall at said point.
