Abstract:
1. A multiple contact rotary male connector and a multiple contact rotary female connector including provisions for a sliding common contact means for cooperation with and for conveying signals or other voltages through two other sliding contact means comprising: a. said multiple contact rotary female connector including a contact socket which rotatingly and slidingly engages a contact pin in the multiple contact rotary male connector for communication of a first RF signal or other electrical current therethrough; b. said multiple contact rotary female connector including an intermediate conductor in communication with and in coaxial alignment with a first segmented spring contact socket which together serve as a conductor for communication of common RF signals or other electrical current; the first segmented spring contact socket being flexible and rotatingly and slidingly engaging a first cylindrical contact of the multiple contact rotary male connector for communication of a common RF signal or other common electrical current therethrough; and, c. said multiple contact rotary female connector including an outer conductor for communication of an RF signal or other electrical current having a second segmented spring contact socket which is flexible and which rotatingly and slidingly engages a second cylindrical contact of the multiple contact rotary male connector for communication of a second RF signal.
