PURPOSE:To prevent the adhesion of dusts in the outside onto a contact type electricity collecting rail on the bottom surface in a guide rail body by constituting the title device so that a slider at the front edge in the advance direction opens a slide fastener as a traveling body travels and a slider at the rear edge closes the slide fastener. CONSTITUTION:Two covers 5 and 5 which are bound by a slide fastener 4 at the center in the width direction of an opened port part are installed at the opened port part 1a on the upper surface of a guide rail body 1 having a box-shaped section. While, a traveling body guided by the guide rail is equipped with wheels 7 which are on the inner bottom surface of the guide rail on the undersurface, and equipped with a contactor 8 which cooperates with each contact type electricity collecting rail 3. Sliders 9 and 9 for controlling the opening and closing of the guide rail body 1 are installed in the lower part at the both edges of the traveling body 6. Therefore, the opened part 1a of the guide rail body 1 is closed by the covers 5 and 5 at all times, except the part opposed to the traveling body 6, and the adhesion of dusts from outside onto the contact type electricity collecting rail 3 is prevented.
