CLOCK SPRING

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a clock spring in which low cost of the whole device is realized by greatly reducing the number of components and the assembly process hour. SOLUTION: This is a clock spring 10 in which the electric connection between a fixed body 11 and a rotary body 20 capable of relative rotation is made by sliding contact between a flexible flat cable 31 interposed between the fixed body 11 and the rotary body 20 and a slip ring 14, 15 of a circular-ring shape provided at the fixed body 11 and a sliding contactor 24, 25 provided at the rotary body 20. The connector housing part 13 is formed integrally with the fixed body 11, and a pair of bus bars 14, 15 that constitute the slip rings are embedded in this fixed body 11, and a tab terminal part 14b, 15b that extends to the connector housing part 13 is formed respectively protruded at the pair of bus bars 14, 15, and the sliding contactor 24, 25 that slide contacts the pair of bus bars 14, 15 is fitted respectively to the rotary body 20.
