Abstract

The present invention provides a space-saving rotary structure for relaying signals which can relay a large number of signal lines without causing a disconnection of the signal lines. The rotary structure for relaying signals comprising a fixed frame which is supported and fixed in the inside of first and second casings, a rotary sleeve which is rotatably inserted into a through hole of the fixed frame and has a distal end thereof projected to the outside of the first and the second casing, a rotary frame which is arranged outside the first and second casings and is fixed to the distal end of the rotary sleeve such that the rotary frame is integrally rotatable with the rotary sleeve, and a flexible printed wiring film which has a distal end thereof pulled out to the outside of the first and second casings along the rotary sleeve and is wound around a winding tongue of the rotary sleeve which is positioned in the inside of the first and the second casings.
