2. Description of the Prior Art The prior art abounds with various devices to enable a power supply to be offered in an elongated dimension rather than at a single point as is the case with a common wall outlet. Some devices involve a plurality of outlets placed in side-byside relation, others involve a wire having insulation soft enough to be punctured at any location. Another device is shown by Glass U.S. Pat. No. 2,981,917: a tubular member has a slot for access to live contacts.
Summary of the Invention A flat track adapted for wall mounting includes a decorative outside covering which is preferably a conductor and two elongated conductors being plane-parallel and oppositely disposed about an opening in the track. Suitable insulation is provided between the conductors and the decorative exterior of the track.
Connection between the conductors and a power supply is provided by an end fitting having tongues which slide securely between the track covering and the contact insulation and which have extended spring shoes for contact with the conductors. Common screw terminals are provided in the end fitting for connection to a power supply wire.
An accessory pickup shoe utilizes an elongated extension having a reduced lateral dimension to fit within the track opening and opposite pickup contacts adapted to engage the track conductors upon 90 rotation of the accessory shoe. A locking plate having raised flanges engages the track and prevents further rotation of the accessory shoe except upon withdrawal of the plate from the track against a spring. A threaded collar may lock against the locking plate to prevent such withdrawal.

I I v 1 1 Description of Preferred Embodiments of the Invention Referring to the drawing, the present invention comprises a power track 10 for use with accessory pickup shoes 12 of varying descriptions. A lamp having adjustable swivel mounts 14 is a prime example. Power track 10 comprises an elongated outer member 16 having a flatback 16a for ease of placement against a wall or ceiling surface and a front portion 16b comprising a flat surface having a central longitudinal opening 16c therein. Running within and longitudinally of power track 10 are two conductors 18 located oppositely of opening 16c and having their respective planes parallel to each other in face-toface relation. Situated between conductors 18 and outer member 16 is an insulating sleeve 20 which also covers the bottom portion 16a of the track.
An end fitting 22 has tongues 24 adapted to slide firmly within power track 10 between outer member 16 and insulating sleeve 20 for secure joining of the end fitting to the power track. Two screw terminals 25 adapted to connect a power supply cord 26 join to spring contacts 28, each of which engages a conductor 18. Conductors 18 are accordingly connected to a power supply. End fitting 22 may be covered with decorative and insulating end covers 30 having snap fasteners 32 adapted to engage a hole 33 provided for the purpose in the end fitting.
Accessory shoe 12 comprises a central core 40 having a bottom extension 42 of elongated dimension sufficient when turned parallel to track opening 160 to be inserted therein and when rotated axially of core 40 sufficient to engage conductors 18 with contacts 44 provided for the purpose. Around core 40 is a locking plate 46 which is spring-urged toward'extension 42. Locking plate 46 is provided with central flanges or enlargements 48 adapted to enter track opening and lock therein to prevent rotation of accessory shoe 12 relative to the power track unless and until locking plate 46 is withdrawn longitudinally of core 40 away from the power track against the urging of spring 50.
A threaded collar 52 is provided on core 40 to engage locking plate 46 and prevent retraction thereof as desired. Threaded collar 52 may be knurled for a nonslip outer surface. Wires run through core 40 from contacts 44 to whatever accessory may be desired. A first type of accessory shown in FIGS. l-3 is a lamp and the core wires run directly to the bulb socket. In a second accessory shown in FIGS. 8-12 an outlet 60 is connected to contacts 44 by wires or conducting bars. In the case of a three wire outlet 62 shown in FIGS. 13-17 a third connection from an outlet contact 64 is provided through locking plate 46 and on outer member 16, both of which are conductors. The connection between the outlet contact 64 and locking plate 46 may be a wire 66 for flexibility. One tongue 24a of a modified end fitting 22a has a side conductor 68 which fits against outer member 16 and extends to a third screw terminal 25a for connection to the third wire of power cord 26a. This third conductor is usually a ground and it is therefore immaterial that exposed outer member 16 is included as a conducting portion.
Operation of Preferred Embodiments of the Invention Operation of the present invention is simple. Power track 10 may be placed on any surface, in any position, horizontal or vertical. It will be noted that there is no practical length limit of power track 10 and runs of 10 or 15 feet or more either in one piece or of several shorter lengths of track appropriately ductors 18 buried as much as possible for safety's sake.
plate 46 and enlargements 48 into locking engagement with the power track. Threaded collar 52 is tightened against locking plate-46 to secure the shoe to the power track.
Opening 16c should be made as small as possible and con- Any suitable accessory may be used with the invention. For
example, the great power carrying capacity of conductors 18 makes the use of electrical heater accessories feasible.
