Abstract

A car connection system guides at least one supply cable between two cars and has a support part for mounting the supply cable. The support part has a separate connection point to which the supply cable can be electrically connected, and the support part is secured to an end closure. The car connection system is characterized in that the supply cable is configured as a spiral cable and extends about a cable longitudinal axis in a helical manner, the support part is rigid, and a clamping part is secured to the support part in order to relieve tension and mechanically support the supply cable.

Claims (21)

1. A car connection system for guiding a cable between two cars, the car connection system comprising:

a supply cable being a spiral cable and extending in a helical manner around a cable longitudinal axis;

an end closure;

a clamping part; and

a supporting part for holding said supply cable, said supporting part having a separate connection point to which said supply cable is electrically connectable, said supporting part is fastened on said end closure, said supporting part being rigid and said clamping part is fastened on said supporting part to relieve strain and hold said supply cable mechanically.

2. The car connection system according to claim 1 , wherein said supporting part has two legs and positions said end closure and said supply cable at a predefined angle with respect to one another.

3. The car connection system according to claim 1 , wherein said supporting part has a vertical mounting surface on which said clamping part is fastened and which extends substantially perpendicularly to the cable longitudinal axis of said supply cable.

4. The car connection system according to claim 3 , wherein said supporting part has an angled mounting surface and said end closure is fastened on said supporting part by means of said angled mounting surface, said angled mounting surface is disposed at an angle with reference to said vertical mounting surface.

5. The car connection system according to claim 2 , wherein said support part has side parts, said two legs are connected together rigidly by means of a number of said side parts and said separate connection point is disposed on one of said side parts.

6. The car connection system according to claim 1 , wherein for mechanical attachment to one of the cars, said supporting part is attached to the car simply by means of said end closure.

7. The car connection system according to claim 1 , further comprising a cable shoe, said supply cable is screw-connected to said supporting part by means of said cable shoe which is fastened on said supply cable.

8. The car connection system according to claim 1 , wherein said supply cable has a cable end and said cable end is realized in a curved manner.

9. The car connection system according to claim 1 , wherein said supply cable is one of a plurality of supply cables connected electrically to said supporting part.

10. The car connection system according to claim 9 , wherein said plurality of supply cables are connected to said supporting part in a purely electrical manner at least said separate connection point and are held elsewhere on said supporting part by means of said clamping part.

11. The car connection system according to claim 9 , wherein said plurality of supply cables extend in a helical manner around a common cable longitudinal axis.

12. The car connection system according to claim 1 , wherein said supporting part has a recess formed therein and into said recess said end closure is inserted.

13. The car connection system according to claim 1 , wherein said supporting part is produced from sheet metal.

14. The car connection system according to claim 1 , wherein said supporting part is realized as a one piece part.

15. The car connection system according to claim 1 , wherein:

said supply cable has two cable ends; and

said supporting part is one of two supporting parts each having one said end closure, one of said supporting parts is fastened thereon to each of said cable ends.
