Abstract
A sliding support of the type which mounts to and traverses along a vertical support structure. The sliding support is comprised of a track, a sliding structure which is vertically supported and a non-lubricating bearing material. The track defines an interior channel which is co-extensive to the distance traversed by the sliding support and an aperture, opposite the support structure, and in communication with the internal channel. The sliding structure has a slide means located in the channel and overlying the aperture. A horizontal support means is secured to the slide means and extends through the aperture. A vertical support means is secured to the horizontal support means and maintains the horizontal support means in a horizontal plane. The non-lubricated bearing material is positioned in the channel between the channel and the slide means.
