ABSTRACT:
A housing structure for rotary connectors that have a flexible cable 4 spirally received within a space formed by a stator housing 1 and a rotor housing 2. Terminals 51 connected to electric conductors 42 of the flexible cable 4 are supported by a supporter 11 mounted in the stator housing 1. The supporter 11 has a barrier 13 having a path 12 through which the flexible cable 4 can be passed. An angle .theta. of an opening 12a positioned at an end position of the path 12 is larger than 180.degree.. A gap width t1 of the path 12 is approximately equal to a thickness t2 of the flexible cable 4. The housing structure avoids a state wherein the conductors 42 of a disconnected flexible cable 4 are contacted again with the terminals 51, or wherein the disconnected sections of the adjacent terminals 51 are undesirably short-circuited by the conductors 42 of the disconnected flexible cable 4, in the case where the electrical connection between the conductors 42 of the flexible cable 4 and the terminals 51 is once disconnected.
