Abstract

The invention relates to a discharge device for discharging electrostatic charges from a shaft comprising a flexurally elastic conductor having a carbon fiber arrangement comprising at least two conductor portions (21, 22), which are arranged on a holder, extend transversely to a longitudinal axis of the shaft and are insulated from the holder and which can be connected to a ground conductor (42) via their portion ends (40, 41), which are accommodated in the holder, each of the conductor portions having a shaft contact portion (30, 31), and the shaft contact portions together forming a contact arrangement for making contact with two circumferential contact regions (33, 34) of a shaft circumference (32, 35) arranged opposite each other in a shaft contact plane W, such that the shaft contact portions are arranged tangentially to the shaft circumference when making contact with the shaft circumference.
