Abstract:
Aspects of the present invention relate to providing a rotary connector device capable of suppressing the entry of foreign matter into a housing space through a portion corresponding to a locking unit in an opposing portion between a stationary side ring plate and an outer peripheral cylindrical portion. A rotator ( 10 ), which is configured by an annular top plate ( 11 ) and a cylindrically shaped inner peripheral portion ( 12 ), and a stator ( 20 ), which is configured by assembling an annular stator main body ( 21 ) and a cylindrically shaped sub stator ( 22 ), are assembled to be relatively rotatable in both a clockwise direction and a counterclockwise direction. An SRC ( 1 ) that houses a flat cable (F) being wound inside of a housing space (S) formed therein is provided with a stator locking portion ( 23 ) that enables a frame-shaped locking portion ( 231 ) that extends from the stator main body ( 21 ) to lock with a protruding locking portion ( 232 ) that is formed on the sub stator ( 22 ); and a recess-protrusion fitting portion ( 25 ) that suppresses the entry of foreign matter into the housing space (S). The recess-protrusion fitting portion ( 25 ) is disposed on an opposing portion ( 24 ) that corresponds to the stator locking portion ( 23 ).

Claim (Index 9):
A rotary connector device in which\n a rotating body, configured by an annular rotating side ring plate and a cylindrically shaped inner cylindrical portion formed on an inner peripheral edge of the rotating side ring plate, and a stationary body, configured by an annular stationary side ring plate and a cylindrically shaped outer peripheral cylindrical portion formed on an outer peripheral edge of the stationary side ring plate, are assembled to be relatively rotatable in both a clockwise direction and a counterclockwise direction, and a housing space is included inside, the rotary connector device comprising: an annular rotator side protrusion protruding from the outer peripheral edge portion of the outer peripheral edge side of the rotating side ring plate toward the stationary side ring plate; an annular protruding ring plate protruding to a radial inner side from the stationary side ring plate at an apex side edge portion of an apex side of the outer peripheral edge portion; and an annular stationary side protrusion protruding from the protruding ring plate toward the rotating side ring plate, wherein the apex side edge portion, the rotator side protrusion, and the stationary side protrusion are disposed in the described order from a radial outer side to a radial inner side, the rotator side protrusion is formed with its tip protruding further toward the stationary side ring plate than the apex side edge portion and the tip of the stationary side protrusion, and a protruding length of the rotator side protrusion is formed to be longer than a protruding length of the stationary side protrusion.
