ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector arrangement for a steering column occupant cushion restraint system is provided to provide continuous electrical continuity between a sensor and an occupant restraint cushion when the steering wheel shaft is rotated relative to the steering column. The electrical connector arrangement includes a continuous coil which is wound and unwound depending on the direction of which the steering wheel is rotated and includes an automatic locking and unlocking means which automatically prevents any significant relative rotation between the inner and outer housings of the connector arrangement when the electrical connection arrangement is removed for service and which automatically allows relative rotation therebetween in response being connected or reconnected onto the steering column so that the continuous coil cannot be wound tighter while being removed for service.
