Abstract
There is provided an inter-relative rotating member relaying device which includes a first rotating unit having an inside cylinder section, a second rotating unit having an outside cylinder section which encircles the inside cylinder section with a predetermined distance and makes a relative rotation with respect to the inside cylinder, a flexible flat cable accommodated along within a ring-shaped space between the inside cylinder section and the outside cylinder section and having an inner peripheral end section held by the inside cylinder section and an outer peripheral end section held by the outside cylinder section, and a mobile unit provided movably along the space and for inverting the flexible flat cable at an opening section, wherein the first rotating unit has on its upper surface a flange for movably mounting the mobile unit on the flange, and the peripheral end section of the upper surface of the flange is formed at a lower level than a portion on which the mobile unit is mounted. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent a projection generated by contacts with other parts from interfering a flexible flat cable and to prevent a generation of abnormal noise.
