<p>An electrical connector for maintaining a circuit between two components (1,2) when relative rotational movement between the components takes place, the connection being effected by one or more coil or loop springs (15,16), the or each spring surrounding a core member (11) which moves with a rotatable member (2). In the described embodiment coil spring (15) connects terminal (4) to terminal (5) and coil spring (16), which may have its convolutions extending in the opposite direction to those of coil spring (15) to provide tension compensation, connects terminal (7) to terminal (6). In the embodiment of Figure 3 (not shown), separate rings (17,18) take the place of core 11, facilitating the adjustment of the coil springs into a central position from which rotation of the steering spindle (2) in both directions is possible before assembly of the connector. The two rings (17,18) are subsequently locked together with a locking pin. <IMAGE></p> |
