Abstract:
A rotary connector device for making a plurality of electrical connections includes a male component having a surface defined by outer sidewalls of alternating male conducting rings and separate male insulating rings. Each of the male conducting rings is connectable to a corresponding male component electrical line. A female component has a central bore configured to retain a series of alternating female conductor rings and separate female insulating rings. Each of the female conducting rings makes direct or indirect conductive contact with a corresponding male conducting ring when the mating arrangement is made. Each of the female conducting rings is connectable to a corresponding female component electrical line. The male conducting rings and the female conducting rings, or separate conducting components associated therewith, have contact surfaces that engage each other in a latching mechanism when the mating arrangement is made.

Claim (Index 11):
A rotary connector device for making a plurality of electrical connections in a mating arrangement between two components, the device comprising:\n a male component having an underlying body for holding a series of alternating male conducting rings and separate male insulating rings, the outer sidewalls of the male conducting rings and insulating rings providing an outer surface; and a female component having a central bore configured to retain a series of alternating female conductor rings and separate insulating rings, wherein each of the female conducting rings makes direct or indirect conductive contact with a corresponding male conducting ring of the male conducting rings when the mating arrangement is made, wherein each of the female conducting rings is connectable to an electrical line, wherein the male conducting rings and the female conducting rings, or separate conducting components associated therewith, have contact surfaces that engage each other in a latching mechanism when the mating arrangement is made.
