ABSTRACT:
A rotative electrical connector is provided that allows connection of wires to a movable member so that the member can be moved without disturbing the electrical connection or fatiguing the electrical wire. The connector includes a spherical conductive member attached to the electrical wire and a spherical shell encasing the spherical member, which, in turn, is connected to a second electrical lead. Preferably, a conductive lubricant, such as a conductive grease is inserted into the space between the outer surface of the spherical member and the interior surface of the spherical shell so that there is an electrical connection between the spherical member and the shell. More than one electrical lead can be accommodated by using additional spherical members attached to the additional electrical leads, each of them encompassed in a separate conductive shell, the spherical members and spherical shells being insulated from one another but mechanically connected to one another.
