Title:
ROTARY CONNECTOR DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/122471
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The disclosed rotary connector device can enable quiet and comfortable travel in which unpleasant noises do not occur, even when a flat cable and a cable housing collide and rub off each other due to the vibration of a travelling vehicle, and can also prevent damage caused by the wear of the flat cable. The connector device is configured from: a stator (12) and a rotator (13) which rotate relative to each other; and an accommodation space (S), inside the stator (12) and the rotator (13), which accommodates a cable (C) in a wound state, said cable (C) electrically connecting the rotator (13) side and the stator (12) side. A guide protruding part (16) which protrudes towards the accommodation space (S) above the wound cable (C), and which guides the cable (C) from above, is formed on the upper section of an outer peripheral tube section (15) provided on the stator (12). The under surface (16u) of the guide protrusion part (16) is formed in a shape that is gradually deformed upwards towards a tip.
