Abstract:
1. A device for transmitting electrical signals, the device comprising: a rotor; a stator, said rotor and said stator being disposed relative to each other to define a substantially annular space between them; a flat strip cable disposed in said annular space, said flat strip cable cooperating with said rotor and said stator to transmit the electrical signals between said rotor and said stator, said flat strip cable being structured to wind and unwind within said annular space; and an elastically resilient annular band, said annular band disposed in said space to support said flat strip cable, said annular band having engagement sections on a side thereof, said engagement sections cooperating with said stator and/or said rotor to drive said annular band, wherein said engagement sections are disposed on an upper and/or lower edge of said annular band and are formed as tooth-gap-like recesses which cooperate with complementary tooth-like drive sections of said rotor and/or of said stator to drive said annular band.
