Model energization coupler, railway model vehicle, and model energization unit

A railway model vehicle comprising:

• a vehicle body that is modeled on an appearance of a railway vehicle;
• a bogie that is attached to an attachment shaft of a lower portion of the vehicle body;
• an energization coupler that is attached to a vehicle end portion of the vehicle body;
• and
• a biasing mechanism that is attached between the vehicle body and the energization coupler, and biases the energization coupler to a centering position,
• wherein the energization coupler includes
• a coupling part with a front end shaped for detachably coupling with a coupling part of a second model vehicle, wherein the coupling part of the model vehicle has a same configuration as the coupling part of the second model vehicle,
• a support member that is attached to the coupling part of the model vehicle and has an attachment base side rotationally attached to the model vehicle and a front end side that extends outwardly away from the model vehicle and is formed under the coupling part of the model vehicle,
• a first energization part that is attached to the support member, and includes a first contact point formed on the attachment base side and a second contact point formed on the front end side, and
• a second energization part that is attached to the support member in a state of being insulated from the first energization part, and includes a third contact point formed on the attachment base side and a fourth contact point formed on the front end side,
• the first contact point is in contact with a first power collection member in a vicinity of the attachment shaft,
• the second contact point is configured to contact with a fourth contact point of a second energization part of the second model vehicle,
• the third contact point is in contact with a second power collection member in a vicinity of the attachment shaft, and
• the fourth contact point is configured to contact with a second contact point of a first energization part of the second model vehicle.

A model energization unit for a model vehicle, that is attached under a coupling unit including a model energization coupler having a coupling part with a front end shaped for detachably coupling with a coupling part of a second model vehicle, wherein the model energization coupler has a same configuration as a model energization coupler of the second model vehicle, and a support member attached to the coupling part of the model vehicle and having an attachment base side rotatably attached to the model vehicle and a front end side that extends outwardly away from the model vehicle and is formed under the coupling part, the model energization unit comprising:

• a first energization part that is attached to the support member, and includes a first contact point formed on the attachment base side and a second contact point formed on the front end side;
• and
• a second energization part that is attached to the support member in a state of being insulated from the first energization part, and includes a third contact point formed on the attachment base side and a fourth contact point formed on the front end side,
• wherein the first contact point is in contact with a first power collection member of the model vehicle,
• the second contact point is configured to contact with a fourth contact point of a second energization part of the second model vehicle,
• the third contact point is in contact with a second power collection member of the model vehicle, and
• the fourth contact point is configured to contact with a second contact point of a first energization part of the second model vehicle.
