Abstract: The live rail support according to the invention has a support body (1) for holding, such that they are electrically isolated, two electrically conductive live rails (2, 3) each having at least one contact sliding surface (4, 5), in which case the live rails (2, 3) can be inserted into the support body (1) in such a manner that the contact sliding surfaces (4, 5) are arranged parallel to the longitudinal axis (6) of the support body (1) and at an angle, which can be predetermined, to the vertical axis (7) of the support body (1) According to the invention, the two live rails (2; 3) can be mounted easily in that the feet of each of the live rails (2, 3) can be inserted into a respective groove (8, 9) in the support body (1), and the live rails (2, 3) can be fixed in their operating position by means of at least one latching-in element (10, 11) which can be plugged on from above.

Abstract: An overhead traction wire support which including a first plate and a second plate, the first plate having on at least one side at least one leg which can be fastened to a ceiling or a wall of a structure. A second plate, which is made of an electrically conducting material, is held at a distance from the first plate via at least one insulator. A current conductor, along which a current collector can slide, is fastened in an electrically conducting fashion to the second plate on the side which faces away from the first plate, and at least one current amplification line is arranged on the second plate parallel to the current conductor.
