Abstract

There are provided a body, a rotor, a free motion spacer including a group of spacer sections arranged circularly between the body and the rotor and a reverse guide section in which a guide face is provided to be opposed to a roller in the group of spacer sections in the circumferential direction to form a reverse insert section and capable of turning with rotation of the rotor, and a flat cable which is reversed by inserting the reverse section into the reverse insert section in the free motion spacer and is wound around the outer and inner peripheral sides of the group of spacer sections where ribs 45 and 47 project from a wall face at the opposing side of a guide face toward the roller adjacent to the wall face in the circumferential direction of the reverse guide section, and a projection 49 for the stopper is provided in the rib, whereby when the reverse section of the flat cable is erroneously assembled between the wall face and the roller adjacent to the wall face, the reverse section runs on the rib and the projection can restrict the reverse section to fall down from the rib.
