Abstract
A trapping protector for a power operated closing device includes a profile strip of elastomer material formed as an extruded member including a touch sensitive profile having a conductive surface portion extending substantially along the length of the profile in the area facing a leading edge of a movable panel in conjunction with which the trapping protector is used, and a touch sensitive detector coupled to the conductive surface for generating a triggering signal when the conductive surface portion is touched, without requiring any significant displacement of the surface portion. Preferably, but not necessarily, the profile strip also includes a sealing profile connected to the touch sensitive profile for sealing the closing device. The sealing profile can be a separately extruded strip if desired. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, the conductive surface portion comprises a layer of conductive elastomer and an electrical conductor in ohmic contact with the elastomer.
