Abstract

The current collector assembly has a sliding contact (1), which has a loop form (4) in each case by longitudinal end bending. The loop-ends pointing to each other, which have two finger-shaped spaced projections for guiding the ends of the retainer (2). The retainer, which has plate (7) shaped in the middle area to fix the fastening plates (3) by bending or crimping. The spring clip (27), which have a shorter length than the distance between retainer in the middle range and sliding contact. An independent claim is also included for a linkage for current collector assembly, involves linking, which is related to the direction of motion of the vehicle.
