ABSTRACT:
A rotary electrical connector has two planar connector members. Each of the planar connector members is positioned perpendicular to an axis of rotation and is supported in rotational facing relation to the other connector member. One of the connector members has a set of concentric tracts thereon, and the other has a corresponding set of protrusions positioned to contact the tracks. A spring forces the two connector members into contact so that electrical contact is maintained between the protrusions and the tracks as one connector member rotates relative to the other connector member. External electrical contact is made on one side to the tracks, and on the other side to the protrusions.
