A current-collector arrangement for a vehicle, said arrangement includes a current collector with a contact shoe for collecting current from a conductor rail, wherein the current collector is connected to the vehicle in sprung fashion where, in order to create advantageous design conditions, the current collector and the vehicle should have arranged between them a carrier, which is connected to the vehicle via a first spring and a second spring and also a joint, and where the first spring and the second spring should each have at least one reserve spring-length region for extraordinary deflections of the current collector, and where absolute values of the extraordinary deflections exceed absolute values of ordinary deflections of the current collector such that a deflection of the current collector achieved in an extraordinary operating state is reversible and need not be restored manually.
