发明名称 Rotatable connector for a microphone
摘要 The present invention relates to a connector assembly for a microphone which allows the microphone and cord to be independently rotated thereby preventing the cord from twisting and distorting. The device includes a first connector having a cylindrical housing with a plurality of female ports on an end thereof for receiving the male prongs on an end of the microphone. Received within the cylindrical housing proximal the opposing end are a plurality of spring biased pins in electrical communication with the ports. The device also includes a second connector having a cylindrical housing which may be rotatably coupled to the first connector. An end of the housing is open and has a horizontal, substantially circular circuit board proximal thereto. On the upper surface of the circular circuit board are a plurality of concentric electrically conductive paths. Received within the second connector proximal the opposing end are a plurality of electrical contacts for selectively engaging conventional receptacles on a microphone cord plug. The assembly interconnects the microphone and cord so that as the microphone is rotated relative to the cord, electrical communication therebetween is maintained due to the spring biased pins sliding along the circular conductive paths.
