ABSTRACT:
An assembly for the transmission of electrical energy to a vehicle comprises two current rails with respective contact surfaces inclined at an angle toward each other in a roof-like arrangement and a current collector having a sliding shoe with a pair of contact surfaces inclined toward each other at the same angle. The sliding shoe is mounted movably on the current collector by means of a ball and socket joint. The support point of the sliding shoe, i.e. the geometrical center of the support ball, is located at least approximately on an imaginary line which connects the centers of gravity of the two contact surfaces of the current rails.
