Abstract

Weatherseal includes two contact elements at a base portion or a domed profile portion that are coextruded electrically conductive profile portions separated by insulating profile portions, the contact elements being oriented in a longitudinal direction along the hollow profile and protruding into a hollow chamber. The contact elements have electrically conductive contact surface areas arranged at an inner side of the profile portion or at the base portion the contact surface area being coextruded electrically conductive profile portions. Contact of the contact elements and/or the contact surface areas together with the contact elements activates a switching action for controlling a drive assembly of a closing device.
