Accessory mounting track

Method of removably attaching and positioning of one or more accessory devices to a supporting surface comprising the steps of:

• a) providing a track with a mounting surface and a bottom, a C-shaped slot channel with a slot opening in the mounting surface, and a recess in the bottom for allowing clearance for a rounded or irregular surface of the support surface, wherein the recess in the bottom is opposite C-shaped channel,
• b) mounting the track to the supporting surface,
• c) providing at least one tee-bolt having a head on one end and threaded stud on another end,
• d) screwing the threaded stud of the at least one tee-bolt into an accessory device, leaving the head of the at least one tee-bolt extended some distance from the accessory device,
• e) inserting the head of the at least one tee-bolt into the slot opening,
• f) rotating the at least one tee-bolt in the C-shaped slot channel until the head of the at least one tee-bolt comes into contact with at least one of opposing surfaces of the C-shaped slot channel to prevent further rotation of the at least one tee-bolt, allowing movement of the at least one tee-bolt only along a long central axis of the track,
• g) tightening the accessory device to the track by rotating the device so that interaction between threads in the device and threads on the at least one tee-bolt urges the head of the at least one tee-bolt towards the device, thus causing the head of the at least one tee-bolt to make contact with an inside surface of the C-shaped slot channel opposite the mounting surface and causing the device to make contact with the mounting surface on an opposite side of the C-shaped slot channel, and
• h) further rotating the accessory device to increase pressure on the C-shaped slot channel and the mounting surface, resulting in friction that, with tightening force, is adequate to inhibit accidental rotation of the device in either a tightening or loosening direction or inhibit the device from slipping linearly along the track.
