Patent attributes
A rotary connector includes a case, a cover, a rotor having a top panel part and a first cylindrical part, a rotor snap having locking parts locked with an outer surface of the cover and a second cylindrical part snap-fitted to the first cylindrical part, flexible cables wound windably/rewindably in the case, and a ring-shaped plate part. In this case, a holding projection project outward in a radial direction from the outer circumferential surface of the second cylindrical part between a lower end of the first cylindrical part and the locking parts, and an inner rim of the cover is provided with a holding step so as to form a step. Furthermore, a wall surface forming the step of the holding step faces side surface of the holding projection, and an inner rim of the cover is rotatably interposed between lower surface of the holding projection and an upper surface of the ring-shaped plate part.
