Patent ID: 8406649

Claim:
An apparatus to provide an electrical charge to a photoconductive drum from a power supply within an image forming device comprising: an electrically conductive member having a first side and a second side and an aperture having an opening to receive a shaft of the photoconductive drum; an electrically conductive cap connected to the first side of the electrically conductive member, aligned with the aperture and electrically coupled with the shaft via the electrically conductive member; and an electrically conductive resilient member having a leading end and a trailing end, the leading end disposed on the first side of the electrically conductive member and electrically coupled with an inner surface of the electrically conductive cap and the trailing end disposed on the second side of the electrically conductive member, at least a portion of the trailing end extending across the aperture of the electrically conductive member, a first electrical path being defined between the electrically conductive cap, the electrically conductive member and the shaft and a second electrical path being defined between the electrically conductive cap, the electrically conductive resilient member and the shaft.
