Contact device for contacting a contact conductor arrangement

A contact device (20, 50) for contacting a contact conductor arrangement (27) comprising at least two contact conductors (25, 26), the contact device having at least two contact strip arrangements, each comprising at least one contact strip (21, 22) arranged on a contact strip support (23, 24), the contact strip supports being connected to each other via an arrangement of parallel rods (37) comprising two parallel connecting rods (35, 36), such that the contact strip supports are each connected to the connecting rods in one of two parallel hinge planes (64, 65) at mutually spaced hinge points (33, 34) on mutually parallel rotational axes (48, 49) and form a parallelogram with the contact strips, which are aligned parallel to each other, at least one connecting rod central axis (38, 39), which runs parallel to the rotational axes, being connected to a base support (42, 51) at a hinge point (40, 41) in a pivoting manner such that an advancing motion (43) of the base support in the direction of the contact conductor arrangement causes a corresponding advancing motion of the contact strips.
