CURRENT COLLECTOR FOR ELECTRICALLY POWERED RAIL VEHICLES

摘要

The current collector (1) has a frame (2) formed by arms (3-7) hingedly connected to one another and a rocker (8) that is hinged to the frame (2) and can be pressed on a contact wire. The frame (2) can be adjusted in vertical direction between an upper operating position and a lowered bottom resting position (RP) by modifying its geometry and is supported on buffers (18) in the resting position (RP), which are assigned at least indirectly to the roof (12) of a rail vehicle. In the resting position (RP), the frame (2) can be contacted by piston-cylinder units (21) that can be activated in vertical direction.
