Patent ID: 7811108

Claim:
A rotary connector device comprising: a fixed-side member which is supported to a vehicle body side and through which a steering shaft penetrates; a rotary-side member which is rotatably connected to the fixed-side member and through which the steering shaft penetrates, and rotatable in response to rotation of a steering wheel; a free motion spacer including a group of spacer sections arranged circularly between the fixed-side member and the rotary-side member and a reverse guide section in which a guide face is provided to be opposed to any spacer section in the circumferential direction to form a reverse insert section and capable of turning with rotation of the rotary-side member; and a flexible cable which is reversed by inserting a reverse section into the reverse insert section in the free motion spacer and is wound around the outer and inner peripheral sides of the group of spacer sections, the rotary connector device further comprising: an interposing section provided at a wall face of the reverse guide section in the opposing side of the guide face in the circumferential direction of the reverse guide section to be positioned between the wall face and the spacer section adjacent to the wall face; and a projection for a stopper provided in the interposing section, wherein: when the reverse section of the flexible cable is erroneously assembled between the wall face and the spacer section adjacent to the wall face, the reverse section runs on the interposing section and the projection restricts the reverse section to fall down from the interposing section.
