Patent ID: 7832534

Claim:
A system for transmitting electrical energy in a magnetic levitation railway system, comprising: a track ( 2 , 3 ); a vehicle ( 1 ) having a car body ( 17 ), a suspension frame ( 16 ) supporting the car body ( 17 ), a magnet back box ( 15 ) connected via spring means to at least one support bracket ( 6 ), said at least one bracket ( 6 ) connected to said suspension frame ( 16 ), at least one support magnet arrangement ( 10 ) connected to the magnet back box ( 15 ) and cooperating with said track ( 2 , 3 ) for supporting said vehicle ( 1 ) in a levitated condition, at least one pick-up coil ( 47 ) adapted as a receiving coil that is also mounted to said magnetic back box ( 15 ), the pick-up coil ( 47 ), the support magnet arrangement ( 10 ) and the magnet back box ( 15 ) operating as an integral modular unit, wherein the track ( 2 , 3 ) includes at least one primary conductor ( 44 ) adapted as an emitting coil for transmitting electrical energy to said vehicle ( 1 ); and a voltage source ( 46 ) connected to the at least one primary conductor ( 44 ), wherein said at least one primary conductor ( 44 ) is associated with said at least one pick-up coil ( 47 ), wherein the pick-up coil ( 47 ) is embodied as a pre-fabricated modular group provided with the required contacting elements and that the magnet back box ( 15 ) comprises contact means for cooperation with the contacting elements as well as plug-in and/or draw-out means for accommodation of the modular group.
