ABSTRACT:
To be able to automatically operate an electric vehicle coupling with a contact bush, there is provided a one way drive which both advances the contact bush (for coupling) and retracts it (for uncoupling) via an eccentrically mounted rolling wheel and a slide rail in which the rolling wheel slides. The rolling wheel has an eccentricity of (.DELTA.x+.epsilon.)/2, where .DELTA.x is a desired advance and .epsilon. is a compression advance.
