Abstract:
1. A rotatable electrical coupling device comprising: a first connector having a first electrical contact member adapted to conduct or transmit a high-frequency and/or high-speed data signal; a second connector having a second electrical contact member adapted to conduct or transmit a high-frequency and/or high-speed data signal; and at least one biasing member which acts to bias either the first contact member into engagement with the second contact member and/or the second contact member into engagement with the first contact member when the first and second connectors are in a coupled state; wherein the first and second electrical contact members are configured to engage one another and to maintain uninterrupted electrical contact throughout a relative rotational movement between the first and second connectors; wherein the first connector includes a first casing that substantially surrounds the first electrical contact member and, wherein, the second connector includes a second casing that substantially surrounds the second electrical contact member; and wherein the at least one biasing member is electrically conductive and forms a further electrical contact member providing electrical connection between the first casing and the second casing.
