ABSTRACT:
A cable connector apparatus comprises a case, defining first (6) and second compartments (10) therein; a rotary member (1) accommodated in the first compartment (6); a stationary member (3) accommodated in the second compartment (6); a flexible cable (7) having one end connected to the rotary member (1) and the other end connected to the stationary member (3), the flexible cable (7) being wound around both the rotary member (1) and stationary member (3) plural times so as to allow the rotary member (1) to turn on its axis several times; an auxiliary rotary member (2) disposed around and radially spaced from the stationary member (3), the auxiliary rotary member (2) having an engaging mechanism establishing engagement between the auxiliary rotary member (2) and the flexible cable (7); the second compartment (10) being separated into two spaces by the auxiliary rotary member (2), thereby dividing a flexible cable accommodated in the second compartment (10) into inner and outer portions; and an elastic force assist means (5) associated with the auxiliary rotary member (2) so as to generate elastic force in response to rotation of the auxiliary rotary member (2).
