  • ROTARY CONNECTOR APPARATUS AND STEERING APPARATUS
    Publication number: 20240067109
    Abstract: A rotary connector apparatus includes a stator, a rotator, and an adjustment structure. The stator is configured to be attached to a vehicle body. The rotator is provided rotatably about a rotation axis with respect to the stator. The stator and the rotator define a cable housing space provided to surround the rotation axis. The adjustment structure is configured to allow the rotation axis to move with respect to the vehicle body in a state where the stator is attached to the vehicle body. The adjustment structure includes a coupling structure configured to couple the stator to the vehicle body. The coupling structure supports the stator movably with respect to the vehicle body to change an angle of the rotation axis with respect to the vehicle body in a state where the coupling structure couples the stator to the vehicle body.
