Anchor for track system support member engagement
The patent US12044301B2 describes an innovative anchor designed for a support member within a track system. The anchor comprises an anchor body, a toothed anchor portion with multiple anchor teeth, and an anchor member that facilitates the engagement of these teeth with corresponding track teeth in a track assembly. The design allows the anchor body, toothed anchor portion, and anchor member to form a cohesive hook structure that engages the track assembly. Notably, the toothed anchor portion is positioned between the anchor body and the anchor member, enhancing the anchor's functionality. The claims further detail the structural orientation of the components, including their parallel alignment and the presence of gaps that accommodate portions of the track assembly.
Additionally, the patent outlines various features that enhance the anchor's usability and adjustability. These include an anchor protrusion and tab for slider engagement, a ramp portion for interaction with an anchor cam, and receptacles for secure connections between components. The anchor is designed to transition between engaged and disengaged positions relative to the track assembly, with mechanisms for vertical movement and rotation to facilitate this process. The claims also describe the integration of an anchor adjustment portion and a rotatable anchor cam, which work together to allow for precise adjustments of the anchor's position. Overall, the patent presents a comprehensive solution for improving the connection and adjustability of support members in track systems, emphasizing both structural integrity and operational efficiency.
