ABSTRACT:
According to the invention a follower member is mounted on the door adjacent the door mounted roller and extends into the body mounted track further than the roller. A spring-like leaf is mounted in the track along at least a portion of the path of travel of the follower member along the track during the back and forth movement of the door. The leaf projects into the path of the follower member to interfere therewith so that the leaf is flexed and thereby impedes travel of the door along the track. A block of elastic material is mounted in a space between the track and the leaf to yieldably support the leaf against the flexure by the follower member during the back and forth movement of the door. The elasticity of the block of elastic material may vary along its length and determines the extent to which the movement of the door is impeded by the engagement of the follower member with the leaf.
