Abstract
A track assembly includes a track, a support member, and/or a lever. The support member may be connected to the track, and/or the lever may be connected to the support member. The lever may include a rotational axis substantially parallel to the track. The lever may rotate about the rotational axis between a first position and a second position. The lever may limit movement of the support member relative to the track in a first direction, and/or the lever may not limit movement of the support member relative to the track in a second direction. The lever may be configured to contact the track. The track may include a window having a first edge and/or a second edge.
Claims20
A track assembly, comprising;
- a track;
- a support member connected to the track;
- and
- a lever connected to the support member;
- wherein the lever includes a rotational axis substantially parallel to the track;
- the lever is configured to rotate about the rotational axis between a first position and a second position;
- the lever is configured to limit movement of the support member relative to the track in a first direction;
- and the lever is configured to not substantially limit movement of the support member relative to the track in a second direction;
- the lever includes a contact portion having a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion connected to the first portion and the second portion;
- the first portion is substantially perpendicular to the track;
- and the second portion is tapered.
The track assembly of claim 14, wherein the lever includes a contact portion having a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion connected to the first portion and the second portion.
The track assembly of claim 10, wherein the first portion is substantially perpendicular to the track, and the second portion is tapered.
A track assembly, comprising;
- a track;
- a support member connected to the track;
- and
- a lever connected to the support member;
- wherein the lever includes a rotational axis substantially parallel to the track;
- the lever is configured to rotate about the rotational axis between a first position and a second position;
