Overhead track anchor system

An anchor assembly for mounting a load bearing track to an overhead structure (e.g. a ceiling or ceiling structure),

• said track having a longitudinal extent (i.e. length dimension) and comprising a rail element and a mounting element, said mounting element comprising one or more retaining formations, each retaining formation defining a holding cavity and an (cavity) opening communicating with the holding cavity, said holding cavity being sized larger than the (cavity) opening communicating therewith,
• the anchor assembly comprising
• a hanger component (shank) attached to an overhead structure (e.g. a ceiling or ceiling structure)
• and
• a head component
• said head component comprising, a support member and a flarable member, said support member being connected to the hanger component, said flarable member being attached to and flarable from said support member,
• said head component being sized and configured such that said head component is able to pass through a said (cavity) opening into said holding cavity wherein the flarable member is able to flare (i.e. to open or spread outwardly) so as to present a flared formation in the holding cavity sized larger than the (cavity) opening so as to inhibit withdrawal of the head component in the holding cavity back through the opening.

A combination (kit), for mounting a load bearing track to an overhead structure (e.g. a ceiling or ceiling structure), said load bearing track having a longitudinal extent and comprising a rail element and a mounting element, said mounting element comprising one or more retaining formations, each retaining formation defining a holding cavity and a respective (cavity) opening communicating with the holding cavity, said holding cavity being sized larger than the respective (cavity) opening communicating therewith,

• said combination (kit) comprising
• one or more head components, each head component comprising a support member and a flarable member attached to and flarable from said support member, said head component being sized and configured such that said head component is able to pass through a respective (cavity) opening into said holding cavity wherein the flarable member is able to flare (i.e. to open or spread outwardly) so as to present a flared formation in the holding cavity sized larger than the respective (cavity) opening so as to inhibit withdrawal of the head component in the holding cavity back through said respective (cavity) opening
• and
• one or more members selected from the class consisting of
• a hanger component for attaching a respective head component to the overhead structure (e.g. a ceiling or ceiling structure)
• and
• a section of said load bearing track.
