Abstract
An embodiment of a rotary connector assembly, permanently connected to a telephone cord, is attachable to a telephone handset. The assembly prevents tangling of the cord. The assembly includes a spindle partially enclosed within a cylindrical bearing and in mutually rotatable relation therewith. The spindle mounts external conducting rings engaged by wipers mounted on a guide element in turn mounted on a base member which also mounts the cylindrical bearing. Structure is provided to retain all the elements of the assembly in place to facilitate attachment to the handset as a single, integral unit. Another embodiment of a rotary connector assembly removably engages a telephone handset within the interior thereof. A latch element, depressible to disengage the assembly from the handset, is normally inaccessible from the exterior of the handset, and structure is provided to enable depression of the latch element.
