Abstract
An extra part draw-in mechanism includes a central axis having a winding face for the flat cable on its outer circumferential face, a rotary body arranged around the central axis and rotatably supported with the central axis at a center of the rotary body, an urging member that urges the rotary body in a winding direction of the flat cable, and a slit that is formed in the central axis and has an opening in the winding face of the central axis to accept and hold the flat cable. The opening of the slit in the winding face of the central axis is curved along a winding direction.

A power supply structure for a movable body that supplies electricity from a fixed part to a movable body or the movable body to the fixed part, comprising:
- a rail member fixed to the fixed part;
- a slider that moves along the rail member;
- and
- the movable body supported by the slider,
- the power supply structure for a movable body, further comprising:
- a flat cable having one end coupled to the fixed part and the other end coupled to the movable body;
- and
- an extra part draw-in mechanism that winds an extra part of the flat cable,
- the extra part draw-in mechanism, including
- a central axis having a winding face for the flat cable on its outer circumferential face,
- a rotary body arranged around the outer circumferential face of the central axis and rotatably supported with the central axis at its center,
- an urging member that urges the rotary body in a winding direction of the flat cable, and
- a slit that is formed in the central axis and has an opening in the winding face of the central axis to accept and hold the flat cable, the opening of the slit in the winding face of the central axis being curved along a winding direction.
An extra part draw-in mechanism that has a flat cable connecting a fixed part and a movable body and draws in an extra part of the flat cable generated by a movement of the movable body, comprising:
- a central axis having a winding face for the flat cable on its outer circumferential face;
- a rotary body arranged around the outer circumferential face of the central axis and rotatably supported with the central axis at its center;
- an urging member that urges the rotary body in a winding direction of the flat cable;
- and
- a slit that is formed in the central axis and has an opening in the winding face of the central axis to accept and hold the flat cable, the opening of the slit in the winding face of the central axis being curved along a winding direction.
