Abstract

A track member having a bottom end portion resting on an upper surface of a support flange has a clip member slidably attached thereto for movement between a locking position and a releasing position for respectively preventing or permitting upward movement of the rail end portion with respect to the support flange. In the locking position of the clip member, a projecting tongue engages the bottom surface of the support flange opposite from the upper surface area on which the track member bottom end portion is supported. In the releasing position of the clip member, the tongue is clear of the support flange.
