The inventive power supply system () comprises a ground placed power supply device () provided with at least one linear supply wire () connected to a voltage supply, a rail () comprising at least one zero reset conductor strip () and at least one protective profile in a flat L-shaped position profile masking the conductor wire. The system also comprises an on-board current sensing device () comprising at least one movable sensing subassembly () comprising a power sliding contactor () and a zero volts sliding contactor () which are electrically connected to the vehicle load circuits and used for slidingly contacting the supply wire and the zero reset conductor strip. The invention is useful for manufacturers of public transport vehicles and the lines therefor.

Locking assembly with integrated retractable locking head for handling, transport, and storage by stacking of load-carrying structures. Locking assembly characterized by comprising on three adjacent faces, including the bottom face, an oblong opening (10) for locking with a standardized locking head and by comprising a locking device (1) which is retractable and integral with a movable support (12) with a locking head (11) between a retracted position inside the assembly in which the bottom face of the support is in the plane of the top face of the assembly, and an extended working position in which the supporting plate (17), supporting the locking head, is an extension of the top surface of the assembly. This invention is useful for designers of containers and shipping materials.

An edge contour for a load-carrying deck includes a substantially vertically disposed side face and a substantially horizontally disposed undersurface, and a substantially inclined support surface interconnecting the side vertical side face and the horizontal undersurface. A serial array of holes or apertures (3) are disposed in a row along the inclined support surface for accommodating hook members (17,18) of cargo lashing straps (16). By providing the inclined support surface, and the apertures or holes (3) within such surface, the inclined support surface and the apertures or holes (3) thereof are, in effect, disposed at a recessed position with respect to the vertical side surface of the load-carrying deck which defines the lateral width or extent of the load-carrying deck. Consequently, the cargo hook members (17,18), which may be quite large and bulky, do not require accommodating space which would ordinarily only be provided or required in the lateral width direction of the deck and externally of the vertical side surfaces thereof. Therefore, as a result of the present invention, the lateral width or extent of the load-carrying deck may achieve a maximum service or support function without requiring provision, in the lateral or width direction, for accommodating the cargo strap hook members (17,18).
