  • Universal arm and mounting block for a current collector
    Patent number: 6152273
    Abstract: A current collector assembly for positioning a current collecting shoe into electrical contact with an electrified rail for use with a mobile unit. The collector assembly includes a pair of identical mounting blocks which are used to mount the collector assembly to the mobile unit. The mounting blocks can be used with either a single collector head configuration or a dual collector head configuration. The collector assembly includes a universal support arm that can be used either alone or in combination with a second identical support arm to connect a collector head to the mounting block. The universal support arm includes a main body and a first and a second end. The first end extends at an angle with respect to the main body and is connected to a connecting rod passing through the mounting block. The second end of the support arm includes a pair of mounting holes which are used to connect the support arm to the collector head.
