CURRENT COLLECTOR FOR ELECTRICALLY OPERATED RAIL-MOUNTED VEHICLES

摘要

The aim of the invention is to significantly reduce the construction space required for the current collector head and at the same time reduce noise emission and wear on the wearing strip. To this end, the rocker (4) consists of at least two single-piece angle levers (10) which are oriented parallel t o the contact wire and arranged perpendicular to each other and which form an angle (8, 9) and have lever arms (8, 9) of different lengths. Said rectangul ar levers are each arranged in such a way that they can pivot about a common, fixed centre of rotation, against the force of a tension spring (12) of slig ht rigidity which acts approximately vertically on the shorter lever (9). The longer lever arm (8) presses directly against the wear strip arrangement and moves the latter in an approximately vertical direction on a part of a circular path with a very large diameter as it rises and falls. A hydraulic rotation damper (13) is located between the angle levers (10) and is activel y connected to the same.
