Contact device and rapid charging system

A contact device (25, 36, 52) for a fast charging system (50) for electrically driven vehicles, in particular cars, trucks, busses or the like, the fast charging system comprising a charging contact device (10, 51) which is disposable on a vehicle floor of a vehicle and the contact device having a contact unit carrier (26, 38), the contact unit carrier having contact units (27, 45, 73, 89), each contact unit being electrically connectable to a respective charging contact (11) of the charging contact device to form a contact pair, the contact device or the charging contact device comprising a positioning device, the contact units being positionable relative to the charging contacts by means of the positioning device in such a manner that an electrically conductive connection is formed between the vehicle and a stationary charging station

• wherein the contact device is disposable on a ground (28) below the vehicle onto which the vehicle can drive, the contact device having a base frame (29, 37) which is attachable to the ground, the contact unit carrier being inserted into the base frame, the contact unit carrier being made of a dielectric material, the contact units each having a contact element (32, 49, 54, 74) which is moveable relative to the contact unit carrier.
