Abstract

A track device includes a track member having a longitudinal channel and a longitudinal opening communicated with each other, and one or more longitudinal juts extended into the longitudinal channel of the track member. One or more brackets are slidably received in the longitudinal channel of the track member and include a number of teeth. One or more fasteners may force the bracket against the track member, to force and to engage the teeth of the bracket onto the longitudinal juts, and to adjustably secure the bracket to the track member, and thus to adjustably support various objects to the track member.

Claims

1. A track assembly comprising:

a track member including a longitudinal channel formed therein, and at least one longitudinal jut extended into said longitudinal channel thereof,

a bracket slidably received in said longitudinal channel of said track member, and including a plurality of teeth formed thereon, and facing toward said at least one longitudinal jut of said track member, and to be forced and engaged onto said at least one longitudinal jut of said track member,

a casing secured to said bracket, said casing including a recess formed therein,

a shelf member engaged into said recess of said casing and secured to said casing, and

means for forcing said bracket against said track member, to force said teeth of said bracket to engage onto said at least one longitudinal jut of said track member, and to adjustably secure said bracket to said track member, and to prevent said bracket from being moved relative to said track member.

2. The track assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein said bracket includes a screw hole formed therein, said forcing means includes a fastener threaded with said screw hole of said bracket, and engageable with said track member.

3. The track assembly as claimed in claim 2, wherein said track member includes a longitudinal depression formed therein, said fastener includes a tip engaged into said longitudinal depression of said track member.

4. The track assembly as claimed in claim 2, wherein said bracket includes a bar extended therefrom, and a flap extended from said bar, said teeth are formed on said flap of said bracket.

5. The track assembly as claimed in claim 1 further comprising at least one fastener engaged through said casing and engaged with said shelf member, to solidly secure said shelf member to said casing.
