ABSTRACT:
A non-contact power supply system for supplying electric current from a power supply unit to a carriage that travels along a rail. A pair of cables, which are used to convey electric current that drives the carriage, extend along the rail. Each cable has a first end connected to the first end of the other cable and a second end connected to the power supply unit. A plurality of brackets are located on the rail to support both cables. Each bracket has a pair of hangers projecting horizontally. The hangers each have distal ends for supporting the corresponding cables. A first type of bracket supports the first ends of both cables, and a second type of bracket supports the second ends of both cables. A jumper strap electrically connects the first ends to each other. The jumper strap extends between the distal ends of both hangers and conforms to the shape of a portion of the first bracket that lies in its path. The jumper strap is a thin belt. A pair of lead straps electrically connect the second ends to the power supply unit. Each lead strap extends from the distal end of the corresponding to the shape of a portion of the second bracket that lies in its path. Each lead strap is also a thin belt.
