Rotary connector

A rotary connector comprising:

• a first housing having an outer cylinder portion;
• a second housing having an inner cylinder portion, the second housing being coaxially and rotatably connected to the first housing such that an annular storage space is defined between the outer cylinder portion and the inner cylinder portion;
• a flexible cable received within the annular storage space, the flexible cable including a first portion wound in a first direction, a second portion wound in a second direction, and a U-shaped reverse portion connecting the first and second portions, the flexible cable having a first end fixed to said inner cylinder portion and a second end fixed to said outer cylinder portion;
• a movable body rotatably received within said storage space and having an opening through which the reverse portion of said flexible cable passes;
• and
• a resilient tongue having a fixed end connected to said inner cylinder and an extended portion projecting into said storage space, the resilient tongue being affixed along an inner surface of said flexible cable, wherein the extended portion of said resilient tongue is formed with a base portion having a first curvature, and a free end portion having a second curvature which is smaller than the first curvature in an unloaded condition;
• wherein said movable body includes a reversing roller on which the reverse portion of said flexible cable is wound, and a stationary cylinder facing said reversing roller, wherein a guide projection projecting along the outer peripheral surface of said reversing roller is formed on said stationary cylinder.
