摘要： A cable holding structure of this invention comprises a groove in which a bending portion of a flexible flat cable is to be inserted, a first opening portion through which the flexible cable extending in the X direction as one direction from the bending portion passes and a second opening portion through which the flexible cable extending in the Y direction as the other direction from the bending portion passes, the first and second opening portions being contained in the groove, and a stopper provided on the first opening portion, which contacts a side edge of the flexible cable extending in the Y direction as the other direction of the bending portion so as to prevent the bending portion from slipping out in the X direction as one direction. Consequently, this prevents a residual stress from being generated in the flexible flat cable thereby improving the service life of the flexible flat cable.

摘要： A relay device includes a first rotor having an inner cylinder, a second rotor having an outer cylinder, a flexible flat cable wound spirally in an annular space defined between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder and a C-shaped moving member arranged so as to move along the annular space. The C-shaped moving member consists of an inner horizontal rib, an outer horizontal rib, an upper vertical rib and a lower vertical rib. When the flexible flat cable is rewound from the inner cylinder by the relative rotation between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder, the contact area of the moving member with the cable can be reduced because the inner horizontal rib is in the form of a plate material projecting from the inner peripheral face of the moving member horizontally. Thus, it is possible to reduce the frictional force of the moving member on the cable and to prevent the cable from buckling.

摘要： An electrical connecting device includes a rotor, a stator having a cover and an under cover, a flexible flat cable wound in a spiral manner and accommodated in an annular space defined between the stator and the rotor, and a locking structure for locking the cover to the under cover. The locking structure includes a plurality of engagement projections formed on the outer periphery of the under cover and a plurality of engagement recess formed on the inner periphery of the cover for engagement with the engagement projections. Since the engagement recesses are arranged on the inner periphery of the cover, the engagement projections under its engagement condition with the engagement recess do not project from the outer peripheral surface of the cover. Therefore, it is possible to avoid undesirable unlocking and breaking of the rocking structure in transporting the device.
