Current collector strip for a sliding contact device

The invention relates to a current collector strip (12) for a sliding contact device (10) which bears in a biased fashion against a contact wire (16), in particular in order to supply current to rail vehicles, having a sliding strip (14) which is arranged on a sliding strip carrier (13) and which has a carbon moulding (18) and at least one metallic conducting device (23) which is arranged in the carbon moulding and has the purpose of bringing about locally increased conductivity, wherein the conducting device is embodied as at least one disc-shaped conducting device which extends transversely to a sliding device (19) and in the direction of a biasing force in a plane and which is connected to the sliding strip carrier and extends in a slot (22), formed in the carbon moulding, as far as a contact surface (21) of the sliding strip.
