ABSTRACT:
A clock spring which is used in a steering system of a vehicle and which electrically connects, by means of a cable, a stationary member with a movable member supported in such a manner as to be rotatable relative to the stationary member. Cable members are received in a receptacle defined by the stationary and movable members, and a pair of rotary members having mutually communicating openings are rotatably interposed between the stationary and movable members, with the receptacle being bisected into two compartments by the rotary members. Each flexible cable has a first section which is wound in either of two opposite directions and is capable of being received in either of the two compartments, and a second section which is passed through the openings, wound in the other direction and capable of being received in the other compartment.
