Abstract: A full-rotational conductor assembly includes a pair of coaxial electrically conductive members having complementary tracks, relatively rotatable about a common axis. A plurality of electrically conductive coupler halves located between and engaging the tracks enable electrical connection between the tracks of the conductive members. A cage is connected to each of the coupler halves and substantially located between the complimentary tracks.

Abstract: The transfer apparatus is directed toward electrical transfer components providing an electrical connection to a rotating object. The transfer apparatus includes a stator base mounted proximate to the rotating object. An axle rotatably mounts at least one conductive disk to the stator base. The conductive disk is held against the rotating object. As the rotating object rotates about a first axis, the conductive disk is made to rotate about a second axis, the second axis otherwise maintaining a static position. A rotationally immobile contact is maintained in substantial electronic contact with the conductive disk whereby a lead wire may be connected to the immobile contact.
