Abstract: A stabilizing arm for use in power operated doors in mass transit vehicles. Doors are of the type where a door panel is moved out of an opening in the car side wall to an opened position outside the car side wall. Stabilization is achieved by moving a rotating arm out of the side wall and capturing the panel in its opened position, thereby minimizing possible hazards in passenger passing through the car opening and damage to the doors either by passengers or others. Operation of the arm is sequenced in the door opening cycle.

Abstract: A glass-run channel is capable of reducing the sliding resistance by reducing the deformation resistance thereof to thereby cause the glass to move with ease. It comprises a body 10 having an opening which is in a U-shape in cross section and lips 21 and 22 which protrude from both ends of the opening of the body 60 toward the center line of the body 10 through which a glass 30 slides wherein the glass-run channel is formed of two kinds of materials. That is, the body 10 is formed of a soft material S having a JIS (A) hardness of 30 to 80 degrees, preferably 60 to 75 degrees and partly formed of a hard material H having a JIS (A) hardness of 70 to 100 degrees, preferably 85 to 95 degrees at least at part thereof where the body 10 elastically contacts the glass 30 wherein the portion where the lips 21 and 22 elastically contacts the glass 30 is harder than the body 10.
