Abstract: A thermoplastic molding composition comprising (A) from 20 to 70% by weight of polyphenylene sulfide, (B) from 5 to 20% by weight of ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene, (C) from 10 to 40% by weight of a fibrous reinforcing agent, (D) from 10 to 40% by weight of an inorganic filler, and (E) from 0 to 1% by weight of a lubricant and/or other additives is used to produce moldings, fibers and films having particularly good wear properties.

Abstract: An arresting device for a hinged component such as a window or roof hatch of a motor vehicle has a peg mounted to a first member, which in turn is pivotally mounted to the hinged component or to the frame for the hinged component. A guide rail is pivotally mounted to the other one of the frame or the hinged component and has a slot in which the peg slides. A gate is slidably mounted to the guide rail and also has a slot in which the peg slides. The slots in the guide rail and the gate each have at least one recess formed in their sides which are selectively alignable such that the peg can move into the aligned recesses. At least the recess on the guide rail has a notch formed at one end to positively hold the peg. Preferably, the gate and/or guide rail are spring biased so that the peg will move into the recesses when they are aligned. When the recesses are not aligned, the side of the slot on the gate covers the recess on the guide rail, and vice-versa, preventing the peg from moving into the recesses.
