ABSTRACT:
A mounting assembly for securing an electrically conductive rail to a support structure comprises a resilient clip configured to grasp an electrically insulating sleeve that encloses the electrically conductive rail. A longitudinal opening in the sleeve exposes the rail so as to permit sliding electrical contact along the rail by a shoe or other type of conductor for providing power to an electrically driven movable device or vehicle that travels along a track or pathway defined generally by the rail. The resilient clip is seated within a bracket, and a securing means coadunately fastens the clip to the bracket and the bracket to the support structure. A plurality of such mounting assemblies can be used to secure a plurality of such rails to the support structure in adjacent parallel disposition with respect to each other, where each mounting assembly secures a corresponding one of the rails to the support structure independently of the other mounting assemblies.
