Abstract

A mounting structure is provided for mounting one or more live rails in a bank of such rails, the mounting structure providing simple means for including additional rails in the bank. The structure comprises a plurality of identical mounting halves, two of which cooperate to mount a single rail. When mounting a rail, the two cooperating halves present cooperating exposed surfaces for the joining of additional mounting halves and rails on each side thereof. Each mounting half includes identical cooperating recesses and projections which when joined together hold a rail in a mounted position. Each half also includes a gripping claw for grasping a single bracing panel or plank for holding an entire bank of mounted rails together.
