Abstract
When a feeding coupler is pressed by a receiving coupler, the feeding coupler is disengaged by a first engaging member of a fixing mechanism so as to be displaceable along an electric vehicle, and also disengaged by a second engaging member of the fixing mechanism so as to be angularly movable with respect to a displacing mechanism. The feeding mechanism then engages the receiving coupler, and starts charging the battery on the electric vehicle.
