Abstract: An improved bearing and seal is used in a clothes dryer having an endless belt for a tumbler with the belt being driven in matching channels formed in a pair of opposed upright panels. Carriers secured to the belt extend all around each edge of the belt and have a metallic element extending over the edge of the belt and disposed in the channel. Each of the carriers has a continuous pile strip disposed along the inside of the belt to engage inner edges of the channels to form a sealing barrier keeping lint and air from entering the channels, and each of the carriers has wear-resistant, low-friction material engaging the sides and bottoms of the channels to provide a running fit for the belt in the channels.

Abstract: Interior and exterior glazing strips hold a window glass or panel in place in a structural frame that has an opening slightly larger than the glass or panel. The glazing strips have a resilient reinforcing member with an elastomeric material extruded over and covering the reinforcing member. Receivers for the glazing strips have channels shaped to interlock with and hold the glazing strips around the periphery of the frame, and the reinforcing member extends from the gripping portion of the strip into the base of the strip interlocked with the channel. The reinforcing member resiliently presses the retainer portion of the glazing strip against the window glass or panel with a force of approximately 4-6 pounds per linear inch around the periphery of the window glass or panel.
