ABSTRACT:
An object of the present invention is to realize a structure able to well retain contact performance between an overhead line and a slider7b, across the entire lengthwise direction of the slider7b. The slider7bformed of slider elements34aand34bdivided in the crosswise direction of a vehicle, is supported on the upper surface of a slider support body9. A center support member12forming the slider support body9is 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 slider7b. Also, together with this, both ends of the center support member12are supported on a shoe body3aso as to allow free oscillation via the respective end section support members13. As a result, even if the overhead lines are positioned on both of the end sections in the lengthwise direction of this slider7b, the slider7bis able to track the movement of the overhead lines due to elastic deformation of the center support member12and to the rising and falling of the center support member12, and hence the above object can be achieved.
