Abstract: A clock spring assembly includes a stationary housing and a rotor. The stationary housing and the rotor cooperatively define a chamber that accommodates at least one flexible ribbon cable (501) that is wound in a first rotational direction onto the rotor and fixed at one end to the rotor and at the other end to the stationary housing. The flexible ribbon cable is wound around the rotor (601) and establishes an electrical connection between the rotor and the stationary housing. A rupture pin (502) is attached to the at least one ribbon cable. A slot (605) is provided in the housing and captures the rupture pin if the rotor is overwound in the second rotational direction opposite to the first rotational direction such that the rupture pin blocks the ribbon cable (501) from unwinding any further.

Abstract: A device (1) for transmitting electrical current and/or signals in a motor vehicle is proposed. The device (1) has a wind up spring cassette (2) composed of a stator (4) and a rotor (5) in which at least one line (7) extending in windings is connected with one end thereof to the stator (4) and with the other end to the rotor (5), and at least one fixing element (3) through which a predetermined relative position for the mounting of the wind up spring cassette (2) into the motor vehicle is fixed. The fixing element is a foil like label (3) which is attached to the outside of the wind up spring cassette (2) and extends from the rotor (5) to the stator (4). The label (3) is inseparably mechanically secured at the stator (4) as well as at the rotor (5).
