ABSTRACT:
An electrical interconnector comprises an outer housing defining a first aperture; a rotor member occupying the first aperture in rotational relation to it; the first electrical connection carried on the outer housing; a second electrical connection carried on rotor member; and a coiled conducter wire loosely coiled in a plurality of coils about the rotor member with the outer housing, the coil conducter wire being connected at respective ends thereof to the first and second electrical connections. In this invention, one or more recesses are carried on either the outer housing or rotor member. One or more flexible detents are carried by the other of the outer housing and rotor, the detents being normally positioned to project into the recesses to prevent rotation between the outer housing and rotor member. The detents are positioned and proportioned so that mounting of the interconnector member for use on a steering column or the like causes the detents to be flexed out of projecting relation with the recesses, to permit rotation between the outer housing and rotor member.
