ABSTRACT:
A rotary connector device having a stator housing 1 and a rotor housing 2 connected by an attachment 3. The attachment 3 fits to the rotor housing 2 and rotatably supports the stator housing 1. The attachment 3 includes a grease reservoir 33 disposed in sliding contact with the stator housing 1. An opening 25, through which a cord 61 connected to a flexible cable 4 is pulled outside, is disposed in the upper part of a rotor housing 2. The opening has a plurality of bumps 251 to 254 to clamp the cord 61. The stator housing 1 is constructed by assembling a side housing 11 and a bottom housing 12 together. A first gap 13 is formed in the area where the side housing 11 is connected to the bottom housing 12. A first side edge 71 of a slide sheet 7 is inserted into the first gap 13. A guide 15 of the bottom housing 12 for guiding the flexible cable 4 is formed with a second gap 14 into which the second side edge 72 of the slide sheet 7 is inserted. Respective base ends 112, 122 of the side housing 11 and the bottom housing 12 are aligned with each other in a plane, and the bottom housing 12 has a fitting claw 121 interfitted into a fitting hole 111 of the side housing 11. The rotor housing 2 has a contact portion 27 on the side facing the stator housing 1 inclined at a predetermined angle defining a tapered gap.
