Abstract

See full text

A non-rail-bound vehicle, in particular a truck or a bus, has a current collector for supplying electric energy from a two-pole overhead conductor with contact wires forming feed and return conductors. The wires are contacted by contact strips of the current collector. The current collector has a linkage that supports a rocker arrangement on the contact-wire side. The rocker arrangement has the contact strips, and is coupled to an adjusting device on the vehicle side for carrying out an adjusting movement of the rocker arrangement relative to the vehicle, transversely to a vehicle longitudinal axis. A vibration damper is configured to damp an intrinsic rocker arrangement vibration which can be stimulated in the adjusting movement direction. The current collector of the vehicle can thus be laterally adjusted in a short adjusting time in the event of steering imprecisions in order to ensure reliable contact with the overhead conductor.
