Patent ID: 11462873

Abstract:
A contact-type power supply apparatus includes: a first cylindrical body; a second cylindrical body configured to surround the first cylindrical body, be disposed concentrically to the first cylindrical body, and be rotatable around a central axis of the first cylindrical body; an annular body configured to surround the first cylindrical body, be disposed concentrically to the first cylindrical body, be in non-contact with the second cylindrical body, and have an end surface being an inclined surface having a tapered shape; and a contact body configured to face the annular body in an axial direction of the first cylindrical body, be electrically connected to the second cylindrical body, rotate around the central axis around the first cylindrical body together with the second cylindrical body, have a contact surface that is in contactable with the inclined surface, and receive an electric potential of the annular body by sliding with the annular body.
