CONNECTOR FOR ELECTRICITY-FEEDING WIRE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate reduction of a voltage induced by a pickup coil in a connector for connecting opposed ends of an electricity-feeding wire in a non-contact electricity-feeding device. SOLUTION: The connector 1 is provided with leaf springs 9 clamped in end parts of the electricity-feeding wire 3 constituting the non-contact electricity-feeding device respectively; and flexible conductive wires 11 for electrically connecting the respective leaf springs 9. By forming the conductive wire 11 in a loop-like shape, a current route 12 passing through the leaf spring 9 and the conductive wire 11 is formed in a loop-like shape having a cross portion 12a in an orthogonal projection view. The pickup coil 6 is arranged such that magnetic bonding with a magnetic field around the electricity-feeding wire 3 becomes strong and a central part 6a of the coil is passed/moved on an axis center line of the electricity-feeding wire 3. Even if the current route 12 flowing in the electricity-feeding wire 3 is deviated from the axis central line of the electricity-feeding wire 3 at a position of the connector 1, since an amount of magnetic line of force itself is increased at a cross portion 12a of the current, the voltage induced by the pickup coil 6 is not reduced.
