Abstract

A device for transferring electrical charge between a first element and a second element is provided the elements have an electrical potential therebetween. The device has a body including a multiplicity of electrically conductive carbon fibers. A substantial portion of the fibers extend in a substantially parallel direction, parallel to a first axis. The body includes a first contact area for contact with the first element. The body further includes a second contact area on the periphery thereof spaced from the first contact area, the second contact area for contact with the second element.
