Patent ID: 6978873

Claim:
An induction-line-cover connection structure for use in a non-contact power supply system for a moving body, said system comprising an induction line arranged to extend along a movement track of the moving body and to have a high-frequency sine-wave current pass therethrough, and said moving body comprising a pickup coil for picking up power from the induction line in a non-contact manner, said induction line cover connection structure comprised of abutting ends of two induction line covers and a cover joining member, wherein each of said two induction line covers is comprised of: a cylinder-shaped section for fitting therein the induction line; plate-shaped sections continuously connected outwardly from a pair of ends created by cutting out from the cylinder-shaped section a portion in a longitudinal direction at a circumferential position of the cylinder-shaped section; and engaging sections formed adjacent outer faces of the plate-shaped sections and being engageable toward said movement track, and wherein said cover joining member overlying said ends of said induction line covers is a block that is comprised of a receiving section receiving said engaging sections of said induction line covers and is formed such that the entire joining member falls within two parallel planes separated by a distance equal to an outer diameter of the cylinder-shaped section of said induction line covers when said engaging sections are engaged toward the movement track.
