cornes


Explanation:
les extrémités u frotteur du pantographe sont courbées en forme de cornes

"4.2 Composants principaux
Chaque frotteur du pantographe 3 kV de la HLE 18/19 est composé de :
- Une pièce d’usure en carbone métallisé (C-Cu) destiné à assurer le contact avec le fil
caténaire ;
- Un support profilé en aluminium cintré sur les deux extrémités. Sur celui-ci est fixé le
carbone métallisé en son centre et une latte pleine en aluminium sur les parties cintrées qui
servent de cornes. Le carbone métallisé est solidaire (pincé et collé) du support.
e support permet d’une part, le transfert de courant entre la pièce d’usure et les connexions électriques souples, et d’autre part, il permet, par ses extrémités sous forme de corne, le contact et le guidage du fil caténaire lors du passage de l’engin dans les aiguillages."
