Abstract
A cable type electric connector comprises an annular casing having a cylindrical wall; an annular rotor with a concentric collar portion coaxially and rotatably received in the annular casing thereby to define therebetween a cable receiving annular space; an annular guide body concentrically and rotatably received in the cable receiving annular space and having a cable passing slot; and a flat cable having an inner end connected to the collar portion and an outer end connected to the annular casing. The flat cable passes through the cable passing slot, so that when the collar portion and the annular casing make a relative rotation therebetween, the flat cable is forced to make a roll wound on the collar portion in one direction or a roll wound within the cylindrical wall of the annular casing in the other direction. A coupling structure is further employed which couples the annular guide body and the annular rotor in a manner to permit a relative rotation therebetween.
