Abstract
An electrically conducting connector for mutually rotatable components such as, for example, components of steering assemblies of a motor vehicle wherein, in order to obtain a high operating realiability and a transmission of current from the rotatable parts to fixed parts, in lieu of conventional slip ring arrangements, spiral springs are provided which are connected, in an electrically conducting manner to the rotatable component and fixed component of the steering assembly. In order to ensure an exact central positioning during an installation of the spiral springs, end regions of each of the spiral springs rest slidably, under tension, against associated contact rings thereby resulting in an automatic centering of the spiral springs when the steering assembly is operated for the first time.
