Fascia and track for a sliding door

Claim 2

A track assembly for supporting doors from an overhead horizontal surface, comprising: a longitudinal track member having a normally vertical surface along at least one side of the track, clip means spaced longitudinally on said surface, the clip means including upwardly projecting fingers integral with the side of the track forming slots between the fingers and said surface; and a fascia member having an elongated outer surface and an inverted lip along one margin, the lip extending downwardly and engaging said slots, the fingers of the clip means clamping the inverted lip against the vertical surface of the track member to frictionally secure the fascia in position so that the vertical position of the fascia can be adjusted relative to the track member.

Claim 3

Apparatus of claim 1 wherein the track is made of thin sheet material and the fingers of the clip means are integrally formed with the track by offsetting tab portions of the sheet material along said vertical surface to provide said fingers.

Claim 4

Apparatus of claim 2 wherein the vertical surface extends substantially above and below the margin of the fingers.

Claim 5

A track and fascia combination comprising: a channel-shaped sheet metal track; means for connecting the track to an overhead horizontal surface; a plurality of spaced clip means along one side of the track forming upwardly opening slots; and a sheet metal fascia having an upper edge for abutting the overhead surface terminating on one side in a decorative face and a downwardly extending flange on the opposite side of the edge, the flange having a thickness greater than the thickness of at least a portion of the slot for tight frictional engagement therewith, and a vertical extent relative to the depth of the slot sufficient ot accommodate vertical displacement of the fascia relative to the track when the track is connected to an overhead surface, the clip means comprising a plurality of fingers integrally formed from the sheet metal side of the track by offsetting a portion of the sheet metal outwardly from the side of the track, the fingers projecting upwardly toward the overhead surface, the flange of the fascia wedging between the offset fingers and the adjacent surface of the track to provide vertical adjustment of the fascia relative to the track after the track is mounted against the overhead surface.

Claim 6

A track and fascia combination comprising: a channel-shaped sheet metal track; means for connecting the track to an overhead horizontal surface; a plurality of spaced clip means along one side of the track forming upwardly opening slots; and a sheet metal fascia having an upper edge for abutting the overhead surface terminating on one side in a decorative face and a downwardly extending flange on the opposite side of the edge, the flange having a thickness greater than the thickness of at least a portion of the slot for tight frictional engagement therewith, and a vertical extent relative to the depth of the slot sufficient ot accommodate vertical displacement of the fascia relative to the track when the track is connected to an overhead surface, the clip means comprising a plurality of fingers integrally formed from the sheet metal side of the track by offsetting a portion of the sheet metal outwardly from the side of the track, the fingers projecting upwardly toward the overhead surface, the flange of the fascia wedging between the offset fingers and the adjacent surface of the track to provide vertical adjustment of the fascia relative to the track after the track is mounted against the overhead surface.
