ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly/device for elastically connecting a steering wheel to a rotary member supported by a stationary member so the rotary member is rotatable upon rotation of the steering wheel, including a first member fixed to the rotary member for rotation therewith, a second member fixed to the steering wheel for rotation steering wheel, an elastic body interposed between the first and second members to elastically connect the first and second members, and a relative-rotation restrictor located between the first and second members, for restricting an amount of elastic deformation of the elastic body upon rotation of the second member relative to the first member, to restrict a maximum angle of relative rotation of the first and second members permitted by the elastic deformation of the elastic body, for thereby restricting a maximum angle of rotation of the steering wheel relative to the rotary member.
