ABSTRACT:
A static discharger for use on aircraft includes an elongated nylon body, and an internal resistance element is in the form of a fiber glass rod having conductive coating thereon received within an elongated opening formed in the body. The remote end of the conductive rod is mechanically and electrically bonded to a transversely oriented tungsten corona discharge needle, while the inner end of the rod is mechanically and electrically connected to a mounting base portion through a spring arrangement by means of which the differences in thermal coefficients of expansion between the body and the rod are accommodated. In one embodiment a stainless steel coil spring is used, and in another embodiment, the spring takes the form of a block of conductive rubber. A lighting diverter strip is formed along an outside surface of the nylon body.
