Abstract
A current collector and a conductor line system having such a current collector. The current collector has a holder and a carbon brush arranged in carbon brush support movable relative to holder in a feed direction from and to the conductor line. The carbon brush is movable in a feed direction from and to conductor line. The disclosure solves the task of achieving better and reliable guiding of the carbon brush on the conductor line and simpler design of the current collector, using a current collector in which the carbon brush is additionally movable in a transverse direction running essentially across the longitudinal direction, a spring element being provided between the carbon brush and holder.
Claims16
A current collector to supply an electrical load movable along a conductor line in a longitudinal direction of the conductor line, the current collector comprising a holder and a carbon brush arranged in a carbon brush support movable relative to the holder in a feed direction from and to conductor line, wherein the carbon brush is additionally movable in a transverse direction running essentially across the longitudinal direction, a spring element being provided between the carbon brush and the holder.
A conductor line system having a conductor line and at least one current collector movable on the conductor line in a longitudinal direction with at least one carbon brush for contacting with at least one electrically conducting conductor profile of the conductor line to supply an electrical load movable along the conductor line, in which the carbon brush is movable in a feed direction from and to the conductor line, wherein the carbon brush is additionally movable in the transverse direction running essentially across the longitudinal direction, a spring element being provided between the carbon brush and the holder.
