Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2016102099A1] The present invention provides an apparatus and a method for electrically connecting a charging station to the charging socket of a vehicle. To this end, a contact head which is connected to a voltage source is positioned in front of a charging socket of a vehicle and then inserted into the charging socket. In order to ensure the contact head is securely and reliably oriented during insertion into the charging socket, the contact head has adjustment means in this case, said adjustment means automatically orienting the contact head during insertion into the charging socket. In this way, the requirements for positioning the contact head before insertion can be reduced and the security of the vehicle which is to be charged making contact with the charging station can be increased.
