Deviation needle mechanism for tram and trolleybus contact lines constituted essentially by the arrangement of a sheet metal body in the form of a plate conveniently suspended from the line whose lower face has fixed rails for sliding in one direction of the shoe of the vehicle in combination with a movable rail mounted on an axis perpendicular to the plate that establishes the lateral or diverted exit direction by splicing at will with a diverging exit lane said movable rail being in combination with an electrical device for its actuation constituted by a box or base fixed to the upper face of the body on which is an electromagnet formed by a U-shaped armature that holds two bronze bushes through which passes the core of the coil in iron material of little remanence being said core by their ends articulated respectively to a lever integral with the axis of the movable rail and another lever integral with another shaft carrying an arm adjacent to the exit rail and said electromagnet furthermore being connected between the body plate and a contact device interposed in the line so that by means of said electromagnet the rail is activated mobile that leads the shoe to the deviated lane and at the exit thereof the shoe itself collides with the lower arm and returns the core and the magnet to its initial position.
