  • Patent number: 10988050
    Abstract: A section disconnect device for a contact line assigned in particular to railborne vehicles as overhead line and carrying high voltage, having a single section arrangement (10) with multiple line sections extending, such that it is tensioned or can be tensioned, between two contact-wire connecting heads (12, 14) and provided with insulator means (36, 38), which line section arrangement is constructed such that it can be mounted by means of respective accommodating sections (66) of the contact-wire connecting heads in an electrically and mechanically contacting manner between exposed ends (16, 18) of the contact line, as a result of which at least one of the contact-wire connecting heads (12, 14) has adjustable level equalization means (66, 68, 70) for interacting with a head-side end (20, 24) of the line section arrangement (10), which are constructed in such a manner that, with respect to a current collector contact, in particular a current-collector-contact side of the contact line and/or a current-collecto

  • Patent number: 5542511
    Abstract: An apparatus for suspending at least one current-carrying contact wire for current collectors of overhead line buses or trams comprises a connecting element is fixed to a support cable. The connecting element is formed from an insulating plastic material, preferably a glass fiber-reinforced polyamide, and forms a unitary shaped body having a receiving member for a support element which is adjustable relative thereto, for supporting the gripping member. The connecting element includes a support shoe with connection eye for an insert which can be fixed therein, for receiving the support element in a pivotable manner and a clamping cover which can be screwed to the support shoe. The support shoe and clamping cover are provided with a longitudinal groove for receiving the support cable in a non-slip fashion.
