Device for galvanically connecting galvanic conductors, such as the rails of a railway, as well as a discharge assembly for connecting to a further galvanic conductor, such as a catenary wire, which extends some distance away above the ground

摘要

Short-circuit device for galvanic coupling of the galvanic catenary wire, running a considerable height above the ground, with one of the rails of the above-ground set of galvanic rails, located directly below said catenary wire, of a railway for electrically powered vehicles, provided with a flexible short-circuit wire of a length which is at least equal to the customary distance between the catenary wire and one of the said rails, at one end of which short-circuit wire a locking element of galvanic material is located, which locking element is suitable for engaging on either side of the rail, with respect to the longitudinal direction thereof in a releasable locking manner in order to produce a galvanically conducting connection with one of the rails, and at the other end of which short-circuit wire a hook element of galvanic material is located, which hook element is suitable for hooking engagement with the catenary wire in order to provide a galvanic connection thereto and which is suitable for pushing in an easily detachable manner onto the one end of an extension arm which has a hand grip at the other end.
