A current collecting apparatus provided with sliders 2 for collecting electric power from a power feeder 1, a current collector 3 for holding the power, an insulator for insulating and supporting the current collector 3, and a flexible conductor for delivering the power held in the current collector 3 to a conductor 5, which is connected to the flexible conductor and used for supplying the power to the vehicle side. The conductor 5 and the insulator 4 are disposed so that the former is offset with respect to the latter in the crosswise direction of a railway vehicle. With this arrangement, aerodynamic noise emanating from the current collector loaded on the vehicle running at high speed can be substantially reduced. <IMAGE> |
