Abstract

The invention relates to a current collectorfor a devicethat can be displaced with and against the driving direction F along a conductor line, comprising a current collector cartfor the guided displacement along a guide elementof the conductor line, and an energy transmission system. The invention solves the problem of providing a current collector and an energy transmission system, which enable an energy-conserving, contact-reliable and damage-free displacement of the current collector along a conductor line and a simple connection of the current collector to the conductor line, in that at least one first lever assemblyL between the current collector cartand displaceable deviceis provided with a first drive lever armL, the first end of which can be connected in a rotatable manner to the displaceable deviceand the second end of which is connected in a rotatable manner to a second end of at least one first tension lever armL, the first end thereof being connected in a rotatable manner to a current collector cart, wherein a first adjustment driveL is provided in order to be able to move the current collector cartbetween a retracted position on the displaceable deviceand an extended position away from the displaceable device, and wherein a first locking deviceL;L is provided, in order to lock the first drive lever armL when displacing the displaceable devicein the driving direction F in a predetermined extended position.
