Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9903700A1] A conductor-rail arrangement (1) for an electrically driven vehicle, comprising two substantially rigid conductor rails (2, 2', 44) linearly arranged in the direction of travel of the vehicle and at a distance (L1) from one another. Two transition horns (6, 6', 45a, 45b) project into the transition region between said two conductor rails, and one of said transition horns (6, 6', 45a, 45b) is attached to every conductor rail (2, 2', 44). In one section (L2) of said transition region, the transition horns (6, 6', 45a, 45b) extend in parallel to one another with a distance (L3) therebetween obliquely to said conductor rails (2, 2', 44), and substantially in parallel to the plane of travel of the vehicle. The width of said transition horns (6, 6', 45a, 45b) is smaller than the width of said conductor rails (2, 2', 44). This arrangement provides a relatively small transition region between the conductor rails (2, 2', 44), such that the distance (L3) between the wire conductors (21) extending a short length in parallel to said transition region and fixed on the inner side of said transition horns (6, 6', 45a, 45b) is also relatively short. This conductor-rail arrangement (1) allows the vehicle contact shoe to switch from one conductor rail (2, 2', 44) to another, whereby a determined current take-off is ensured.
