Patent ID: 8808008

Claim:
A rotatable connector device, comprising: a rotator including a ring-shaped rotatable-side ring plate and an inner cylindrical section having a cylindrical shape and formed along an inner circumferential edge of the rotatable-side ring plate; and a stator including a ring-shaped fixed-side ring plate and an outer cylindrical section having a cylindrical shape and formed along an outer circumferential edge of the ring-shaped fixed-side ring plate, the rotator and the stator being engaged with each other so as to be pivotable with respect to each other with a gap being provided between the rotatable-side ring plate and the outer cylindrical section; wherein: an accommodation section, defined by the rotatable-side ring plate and the inner cylindrical section of the rotator and the fixed-side ring plate and the outer cylindrical section of the stator, accommodates a cable for electrically connecting the rotator and the stator to each other in the state where the cable is wound around; the outer circumferential edge section of the stator formed to have a cylindrical shape is formed to have a longer diameter than a diameter of the outer circumferential edge section of the rotator; the outer circumferential edge section of the stator is extended in such a direction as to cover a side surface of the outer circumferential edge section of the rotator, so that the gap is opened upward; and the gap is connected to the accommodation section.
