Slot - conduits; ploughs. - Relates to compressed-air apparatus for raising and lowering the collector ploughs on the vehicles and for simultaneously actuating the slot-conduit covers through scissor mechanism of the type described in Specifications 24,489/10 and 8862/10. The scissor mechanism is lowered against the action of a spring 14 when the car driver connects the pipe 8 up to the supply pipe 18 through his control valve. The operation of the lever 10 actuates a rotary valve in the casing 6 which connects the supply pipe 18 to the cylinder 5. The piston-rod 20 is then forced downwards and through the chain 23 and pulleys 26 and 27 raises the plough. A bell 31 warns the driver when the plough has been fully raised or lowered, and the scissors is then automatically raised by cutting-off the fluid-pressure. The plough is kept raised by the compressed air, but to act as a safeguard should the pressure fail, the rod 22 is passed through a spring- pressed lock normally kept out of action by the fluid-pressure. The plough may also be operated by hand, if the fluid-pressure fails, by winding cables in the second groove of the pulleys 26, 27.
