<p>A window sealing system (8) with provision to prevent an object from being dangerously trapped by a closing window pane (16) comprises ```a mounting portion (9) which is relatively rigid; a sealing element (14) capable of abutting a window pane (16) when the latter is in a closed position; ```a hollow bulbous portion (17), as viewed in cross-section, carried by the mounting portion (9), the bulbous portion (17) being relatively flexible compared to the mounting portion (9); and ```an elongate sensor (20) comprising a piezo-electric cable secured in a channel (19) provided in a region of the bulbous portion (17) remote from the mounting portion (9), the sensor (20) being connectable to external circuitry for controlling movement of the window pane (16); ```the arrangement being such that, in use, in the event of an object being struck by a closing window pane (16), the object strikes the bulbous portion (17) which activates the piezo-electric cable to generate a signal to the external circuitry to stop and then reverse the motor, before the object is forced as far as the rigid mounting portion (9).</p> |
