An anti-trap sealing device comprises a sealing member 50 with a flexible sealing portion (8, 10, 12, Fig 4), a portion (4, Fig 4) for mounting the member on a vehicle body and a locating portion defining an elongate chamber (52, Fig 4) for receiving an elongate sensor member 36 which is activated on deformation of the chamber (52) owing to an object being trapped. The sensor may be removable, and may be shaped so that it is not rotatable within the chamber. The chamber may be formed of a sponge or of a solid polymeric material. The sensor member may be a conductive robber switch, a piezo-electric cable or tape, a capacitive sensor, pressure sensitive conductive rubber, or a fibre-optic sensor. The sensor and the sealing member may be formed by extrusion. The device is particularly for use in a window region of a vehicle to prevent trapping of fingers or the like. |
