A rocker for a current collector of a vehicle includes at least one first contact strip connected to a first lever arrangement which is coupled to a first bearing device, and connected to a second lever arrangement which is coupled to a second bearing device, wherein the first bearing device and the second bearing device are connectable in an articulated manner to a current collector linkage, where a first torsion spring is fixedly connected to a lever of the first lever arrangement and non-rotatably via a displaceable bearing to the first bearing device or is connected non-rotatably via a displaceable bearing to a lever of the first lever arrangement and fixedly to the first bearing device, where the first torsion spring simultaneously forms a torque transmission device and a spring device such that a lightweight, compact and nevertheless robust arrangement for collecting current is thereby obtained.

A current collector for electrically supplying an electrical load which is movable along a conductor line. The current collector has a fastening element and at least one sliding contact with an elongate sliding contact surface, which extends in a longitudinal direction, for sliding contact with an electrically conducting line profile, which extends in the longitudinal direction, of the conductor line. The sliding contact is articulated on the fastening element at spaced apart fastening regions, so as to be movable in a feeding plane extending parallel to the longitudinal direction by means of two articulated lever arrangements. A resetting device acting on the articulated lever arrangements and on the fastening element is provided which, when the sliding contact is deflected from an inoperative position, in which the sliding contact surface preferably extends substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction, moves the sliding contact back into the inoperative position.

Said pantograph comprises a chassis, a bow, an articulated arm (210) comprising at least one main rod (216) and at least one auxiliary rod (220), an aileron assembly comprising at least one aileron (10) which is movable relative to the articulated arm, means (3) for supporting the movable aileron (10) which are movably mounted on one of the rods, which is to say either the main rod or the auxiliary rod, which is referred to as the support rod (216), means for immobilizing (4, 7) the support means relative to the support rod, and orienting means (8) which are mounted on the other rod, which is to say either the main rod or the auxiliary rod, which is referred to as the orienting rod (220). Said orienting means are designed such that, over a first range of extension of the articulated arm (210) in which the bow moves between a lower position and an intermediate position, said orienting means do not act on the support means, such that a characteristic angle (α10) of the aileron, which is formed in the vertical plane by the movable aileron and the main axis (A216) of the support rod, is substantially constant; and over a second range of extension of the articulated arm (210) in which the bow (208) moves between the intermediate position and a high position, said orienting means act on the support means, such that the characteristic angle of the aileron varies continuously.

A current collector for a non-track-bound, electrically driven vehicle for feeding electrical energy from a two-pole overhead line system with two contact wires. Two upper arms are rotatably connected to an adjustable lower arm by toggle joints. Each upper arm carries a contact rocker for contacting the contact wires. Coupling bars are rotatably connected to the upper arms and articulated so that adjustment of the lower arm forces adjustment of the upper arms. A compensating rocker compensates for a height difference between the contact rockers with a rocker stand and a rocker beam. The rocker stand can be rotatably connected to the vehicle and the rocker beam is connected to the coupling bars by way of compensating joints on either side of the rocker joint. At least one stop element limits a rotational movement of the rocker beam about a rocker joint axis of the rocker joint.

A current collector for a non-rail-bound, electric traction vehicle has an articulated support linkage, which, on the contact wire side, supports rocker assemblies with contact strips and, on the vehicle side, has a base joint for articulation to the traction vehicle. A pneumatic reciprocating drive is coupled to the support linkage for raising the rocker assemblies from a lower parking position into an upper contact position when the reciprocating drive is pressurized and for lowering into the parking position under its own weight when depressurization occurs. An exhaust air line connects the reciprocating drive to the environment to lower the rocker assemblies. An air accumulator and a downstream throttle valve are connected between the reciprocating drive and an environment opening of the exhaust air line. The rocker assemblies can be quickly lowered and nevertheless brought into the parking position without damage in order to disengage the current collector.

A current collector for a multi-pole contact line system has a lower arm that is pivotally mounted on a base and at least two upper arms that are pivotally mounted on an end of the lower arm opposite the base. The current collector also has at least two contact assemblies that are arranged on the respective upper arms and are associated with separate different poles of a contact line. The current collector further has a central compensating rocker arranged on the base and at least two connecting rods, the first end of each of which is pivotally connected to the central compensating rocker and the second end of each of which is pivotally connected to one of the at least two upper arms. An electrified transport system uses such a current collector.
