ABSTRACT:
An electric connection device interposed between a steering wheel and a steering column, comprising: a rotary body fixed to the steering wheel; a device housing fixed to the steering column; an internal gear fixed to the device housing; an annular flat cable carrier rotatably disposed in an annular space formed in the device housing; a plurality of planetary gears in mesh between an outer gear portion of the rotary body and an inner gear portion of the internal gear; a plurality of rollers mounted on the annular flat cable carrier; and a flexible flat cable connected between the rotary body and the device housing and arranged in the annular space of the device housing. Whenever the rotary body is rotated in either direction, the flexible flat cable is first reeled around the rotary body, reversed around one of the rollers at a reversal portion thereof, and then wound around the internal gear. In particular, since the annular flat cable carrier is formed with a space under the reversal portion of the flexible flat cable for prevention of the flexible flat cable from being slid in contact with the annular flat cable carrier in a radial direction thereof, it is possible to prevent abnormal noise from being generated from the device.
