Abstract:
A rotary connector apparatus includes: a ring-shaped fixed member; a ring-shaped rotating member rotatably fitted to the fixed member; a flexible flat cable housed in a housing space formed by the fixed member and the rotating member, the flexible flat cable having a plurality of wires, one end of the flexible flat cable being fixed to the fixed member and another end thereof being fixed to the rotating member, wherein a first connector housing attached to the fixed member accommodates a plurality of electrically conductive paths that respectively connect a plurality of first terminals to the plurality of wires at said one end of the flexible flat cable, and at least one of the plurality of electrically conductive paths is configured to removably receive a protection device so as to protect the path from overcurrent.

Claim (Index 1):
A rotary connector apparatus, comprising:\n a ring-shaped fixed member; a ring-shaped rotating member rotatably fitted to the fixed member; a flexible flat cable housed in a housing space formed by the fixed member and the rotating member, the flexible flat cable having a plurality of wires, one end of the flexible flat cable being fixed to the fixed member and another end thereof being fixed to the rotating member; a first connector housing attached to the fixed member, the first connector housing having a plurality of first terminals that are to be connected to an external plug or jack, the plurality of first terminals being electrically connected to the plurality of wires, respectively, through an interior of the first connector housing at said one end of the fixable flat cable; and a second connector housing attached to the rotating member, the second connector housing having a plurality of second terminals that are to be connected to another external plug or jack, the plurality of second terminals being respectively electrically connected to the plurality of wires, respectively, through an interior of the second connector housing at said another end of the fixable flat cable, wherein the first connector housing accommodates a plurality of electrically conductive paths that respectively connect the plurality of first terminals to the plurality of wires at said one end of the flexible flat cable, and at least one of the plurality of electrically conductive paths is configured to removably receive a protection device so as to protect the path from overcurrent.
