is releasably engagable against the aperture in either the Series
A or E track to enable removable anchoring of the coupling clip
member within the aperture. The aperture in the Series A track
is rectangular and the aperture in the Series E track is I-
shaped. Additionally, it is noted that ANCRA teaches Part No.
40980-11 for use with a Series F track. Part No. 40980-11 is a
track fitting or coupling clip member lacking the claimed
articulating locking structure. The aperture in the Series F
track is circular.2
Berns (Figure 3) teaches the use of a rail anchor A
insertable through a circular opening 15 with a notch 17 provided
in rail C. The rail anchor has a substantially asymmetric omega
shape and is provided with two anchor hook webs 11 and 12 which
grip behind the rail C. The rail anchor can be turned
practically 360° around the opening 15.3
