SLIDING PLATE SUPPORT STRUCTURE FOR CURRENT COLLECTOR

摘要

A sliding plate support structure for a current collector includes at least one bow member (4) elastically supporting a number of sliding plate pieces (1a, 1b, 1c) which are in contact with current supply wires. A leaf spring body (2) made of an electrically conductive elastic material is detachably mounted on the bow member (4). A plurality of sliding plate fixing portions are secured to the leaf spring body in such a way that the sliding plate support structure prevents steps or difference in height occurring at adjacent ends of the sliding plate pieces (1a, 1b, 1c) and prevents groove-shaped wearing and vibration at the adjacent ends of the sliding pieces.
