  • Patent number: 4417775
    Abstract: An electrical connector device comprises at least one first conductor fixed to a first insulator, at least one second conductor fixed to a second insulator which is angularly movable with respect to the first insulator, a third conductor in the form of a flexible wire which is disposed between the first and second insulators and which is at least partially loose, first and second contact members electrically connected to ends of the third conductor and to the first and second conductors, a third insulator angularly movable with respect to the first and second insulators, the second contact member being fixed to the third insulator, and a guide mechanism for guiding the second and third insulators to move angularly in the same direction. The electrical connector device allows desired rotation between relatively movable members in an electrical system while maintaining electrical connection therebetween by using the loosely disposed conductor.
