Abstract
A current collector holder for a carbon shoe, which bears against a contact wire, for electrically driven vehicles, has two first webs which grip a foot region of the shoe, and two second webs which project away from the shoe are arranged underneath the shoe. An independent spring system is provided for exerting forces against the second webs for pressing the first webs against the foot region of the shoe. The spring system has a spring which extends uniformly in the longitudinal direction of the shoe, and bears with its longitudinal regions against the second webs to transmit a spring force, acting in a direction transverse to the shoe, to the second webs. The holder is simple to construct and provides contact forces acting continuously over the entire length of the shoe.
Claims19
A current collector holder for a carbon shoe, which bears against a contact wire, for electrically driven vehicles, which holder has two first webs, which project away from the shoe and are arranged underneath said shoe, a spring system separable from said holder being provided which presses each of the second webs relative to one another for pressing the first webs against the foot region of the shoe, wherein a spring is provided as the spring system, which spring extends uniformly in a longitudinal direction of the shoe, bears with its longitudinal region against the second webs, and in this way transmits its spring force, which acts in a direction transverse to the shoe, to the second webs for exerting forces continuously over the length of said shoe.
