Patent ID: 6910899

Claim:
A device for forming an electrically conductive contact with an electrically conductive component of an elongated body, the device comprising: a base structure for disposition on the body to be contacted; and a contact element, in the form of a separate component for contacting the body to be contacted in a contact mounting position for producing an electrically conductive connection between the electrically conductive component of the body to be contacted and a ground cable, the contact element being formed of profiled sheet metal, wherein the base structure is comprised substantially completely of an elastic material, and wherein the elastic material of the base structure, on a side thereof facing toward the contact element, has a disposition surface for the disposition of the contact element thereon, said disposition surface having a substantially complementary shape with respect to the cross-section of the contact element such that the contact element is disposed against the elastic material of the base structure over substantially the entire length of the contact element.
