Problem Statement

Two disjoint circles ω1\omega_1 and ω2\omega_2 are inscribed into an angle. Consider all pairs of parallel lines l1l_1 and l2l_2 such that l1l_1 touches ω1\omega_1 and l2l_2 touches ω2\omega_2 (ω1\omega_1, ω2\omega_2 lie between l1l_1 and l2l_2). Prove that the medial lines of all trapezoids formed by l1l_1 and l2l_2 and the sides of the angle touch some fixed circle.
