Device for fastening a sliding element to a current collector

A device for fastening a sliding element having a carrier, a carbon contact piece on the carrier, and an air duct between the carrier and the carbon contact piece to a current collector to draw electrical energy from a stationary overhead contact line to an electrically driven vehicle having a current collector, the device comprising:

• a detent assembly at a fastening point that fastens the sliding element to the current collector, the detent assembly arranged on a side of the sliding element, the detent assembly having a first through hole extending through the detent assembly and configured to be coupled with the air duct between the carrier and the carbon contact piece;
• and
• a receptacle on a side of the current collector, the receptacle for receiving the detent assembly, the detent assembly and the receptacle are configured to be releasably brought into engagement with each other by inserting and locking the detent assembly in the receptacle, the receptacle having a second through hole extending through the receptacle and configured to be coupled with a compressed air feed pipe, the detent assembly configured to be received into the receptacle with the first through hole and the second through hole forming a continuous compressed air through hole extending from the compressed air feed pipe to the air duct.
