An object of the present invention is to realize a structure able to well retain contact performance between an overhead line and a slider, across the entire lengthwise direction of the slider. The sliderformed of slider elementsanddivided in the crosswise direction of a vehicle, is supported on the upper surface of a slider support body. A center support memberforming the slider support bodyis elastically deformed downward in a concaved shape across the longitudinal direction, due to a load applied due to contact between the overhead lines and the slider. Also, together with this, both ends of the center support memberare supported on a shoe bodyso as to allow free oscillation via the respective end section support members. As a result, even if the overhead lines are positioned on both of the end sections in the lengthwise direction of this slider, the slideris able to track the movement of the overhead lines due to elastic deformation of the center support memberand to the rising and falling of the center support member, and hence the above object can be achieved.
