Abstract

A sliding track of an industrial computer comprises at least one tracking strip base being a straight long frame; an inner side of the tracking strip being formed with an axial slot; at least one tracking strip being positioned in the slot; a groove being formed between each of the two ends of the tracking strip and one side of the slot; a plurality of beads being received in the grooves, but a part of each outside bead protruding out of the groove and resisting against a cambered trench within the slot so that the beads will not fall out. The tracking strip is inserted into the tracking strip base. The beads is confined by and rolls in the grooves and thus the tracking strips slide in the tracking strip bases.

Claims

1. A sliding track of an industrial computer comprising:

at least one tracking strip base being a straight long frame;

an inner side of the tracking strip base being formed with an axial slot;

at least one tracking strip being positioned in the axial slot;

groove being formed between each of the two ends of the tracking strip and one side of the axial slot, a plurality of beads being received in the grooves, but a part of each outside bead protruding out of the groove and resisting against a cambered trench within the axial slot so that the beads will not fall out;

wherein the tracking strip is inserted into the tracking strip base, the beads is confined by and rolls in the grooves and thus the tracking strips slide in the tracking strip bases.

2. The sliding track of an industrial computer as claimed in claim 1, wherein the tracking strip is formed with a protrusion and is positioned outside the slot so as to lock to a computer mainframe or a computer peripheral device.

3. The sliding track of an industrial computer as claimed in claim 1, wherein each end of the groove is sealed by a plug for confining the beads.

4. The sliding track of an industrial computer as claimed in claim 1, wherein a cambered trench is axially formed within the tracking strip base;

when the tracking strip passes through the tracking strip base, the cambered trench resists and positions the beads.

5. The sliding track of an industrial computer as claimed in claim 1, wherein the beads resist against the tracking strip base so as to have a stress therebetween and the conformity of the beads and the tracking strip base is adjustable, the beads will be retarded when they roll in the groove;

thereby, the tracking strip is damped when it slides in the tracking strip base.

6. The sliding track of an industrial computer as claimed in claim 1, wherein an outer wall of the tracking strip base has a plurality of axial holes;

and the tracking strip base is fixed to a casing by screwing screws into the axial holes.
