Abstract
A contactor assembly having contacting head portion is mounted on a vehicle and a receiving device is mounted on a load transfer station. The contactor assembly and receiving device is provided for transferring electrical energy from a source of electrical energy between the load transfer station and the vehicle and improves the flexibility of load transfer station location and relocation. The contacting head portion is transversely movable between first and second spaced apart locations relative to the vehicle and into engagement with the receiving device. A sensing device is provided for sensing the position of the vehicle relative to the load transfer station and delivering an actuator control signal to an actuating device in response to the contacting head portion and the receiving device being aligned for mating engagement. The actuating device moves the contacting head portion from the first position to the second position in response to the receiving the actuating control signal. The contactor assembly is particularly suited for use on an automatic guided vehicle.
