Patent ID: 7137494

Claim:
A device for contactless transfer of electrical energy from at least one power cable carrying electrical energy which is laid along a stationary rail of a transport system to a moving element that can be driven along the rail, which element has a transfer head which works inductively with the power cable, comprising: at least one carrier element fixed in a releasable manner to the rail, said carrier element having a snap-lock connection and a holder for the power cable, wherein the carrier element is a carrier profile extending substantially along the entire rail which has at least one trough-like holder open to the side in which a data cable is laid, wherein the carrier profile is elastically deformable and is fixed at the carrier rail by the snap-lock connection provided by the elastic deformability of the carrier profile, and further comprising stiffening means for reducing the elastic deformability of the carrier profile when the carrier profile is fixed at the carrier rail for preventing a dislodge of the carrier profile from the carrier rail.
