Abstract
A system and method for stopping a moving member located on a stationary member. The system includes sliders or rollers configured to move along a track. The track has a discontinuity to move the moving member to engage a friction pad to slow the moving member. The system includes a striker configured to engage a stop for stopping the moving member. The method includes moving the member along a pathway, altering the movement of the member with a discontinuity in the pathway, slowing the member at the discontinuity with a friction device engaged by the altered movement of the member, stopping the member with a resilient device, and preventing the member from bouncing back from the resilient device a significant amount with the friction device.
