An electrical connector assembly provides a hinge between two parts, such as an eye-piece part and an arm-piece part of augmented eyewear. The assembly includes first and second hermaphroditic connectors which are rotatable relative to each other. Each connector includes a conductive electrical terminal disposed on a non-conductive support. Each electrical terminal includes a main body and a flexible contact arm extending therefrom, and a contacting protrusion protruding from the contact arm. The contact arm can be flexed into a slot in the support. The contacting protrusion on each arm maintains engagement with the main body of the other connector during rotation.

A connection device includes two adjacent connectors, a first connecting portion, and a second connecting portion. The two adjacent connectors are configured to support a flexible member. The first connecting portion of a first connector of the two adjacent connectors is rotatably connected to the second connecting portion of a second connector of the two adjacent connectors. The first connector rotates relative to the second connector based on relative rotation between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion. The two adjacent connectors rotate to a first limit position and a second limit position based the relative rotations between the first connector and the second connector.

A steering column structure includes a rotary connector, a steering column cover, and a steering lower cover attached with a gap defined between the steering lower cover and the steering column cover. The steering column cover includes a first side wall portion defining the gap, and a first insertion hole that is disposed in the first side wall portion and into which the rotary connector is inserted. The steering lower cover includes a second side wall portion facing the first side wall portion and defining the gap together with the first side wall portion, and a second insertion hole that is disposed in the second side wall portion and into which the rotary connector is inserted. The first side wall portion includes a first dam portion disposed in a position corresponding to the rotary connector above the rotary connector.

A connection system for electrically connecting a fixture in a vehicle has at least one cable, and a housing with a cable inlet and a cable outlet, and with a receiving space which is formed in the housing and extends helically along a housing axis with a receiving space cross section from the cable inlet towards the cable outlet. The cable has a cable cross section and runs completely through the receiving space from the cable inlet towards the cable outlet, with cable coils being formed. A radial extent of the cable cross section is smaller than a radial extent of the receiving space cross section. Therefore, different lengths of the at least one cable can be accommodated in the receiving space with different coil diameters being formed.

An outlet relocation assembly includes a male electrical outlet that can be plugged into a female electrical outlet on a wall that is blocked by furniture. A ring is rotatably positioned around the male electrical outlet. An arm is coupled to and extends away from the ring such that the arm is oriented parallel to the wall in which the female electrical outlet in the wall is positioned. A female electrical outlet is pivotally coupled to the arm. The female electrical outlet on the arm can be spaced from the female electrical outlet in the wall thereby facilitating the female electrical outlet on the arm to be extended beyond the furniture. Moreover, the female electrical outlet on the arm is in electrical communication with the male electrical outlet to supply electrical power.

A replay plate 44 is set to have a vertically and horizontally symmetrical shape when a worm wheel 33 is viewed from its axial direction; the worm wheel 33 is provided with an accommodating concave portion 33g in which the relay plate 44 is housed so as to be recessed in the axial direction; and a part of a non-slidably contacting surface in a slidably contacting surface 44a of the relay plate 44, i.e., a non-slidably contacting surface S is covered with first and second fixing parts 35a, 35b that are provided around the accommodating concave portion 33g and protrude in a direction intersecting with an axial direction of the worm wheel 33, the non-slidably contacting surface being a surface with which the contact plate is not slidably contacted.

A slip ring assembly is usable with a surgical shaft assembly. The slip ring assembly includes a first connector flange comprising a conductor. The slip ring assembly further includes a second connector flange comprising a conductive element in contact with the conductor, wherein the second connector flange is rotatable relative to the first connector flange. In addition, the slip ring assembly also includes a support member, wherein the second connector flange is sandwiched between the first connector flange and the support member, and wherein the support member is configured to apply a load onto the second connector flange to maintain the contact between the conductor and the conductive element.
