Abstract (en)

The invention provides a lighting track system comprising a track (2) which carries electrical supply conductors (6, 8). Any one of a plurality of carriages (14) is adapted to be coupled to the track (2) mechanically and electrically. Each carriage (14) is provided with a lighting fitting such as a low voltage bulb and when the carriage is connected to the track mechanically, there is electrical connection between the supply conductors and the bulb. The mechanical connection is made by means of projections (46, 48) and a slidable cam (33, 38) so that to connect the carriage (14) it is fitted into the track (2) and the slidable cam (33, 38) is moved to cause projections to grip the track (2). The carriage (14) is released by the opposite movement of the cam (33, 38). <IMAGE>
