         4 . The auto-returning track device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the notch is formed with a limiting sheet for resisting against the protrusion. 
     
     
         5 . The auto-returning track device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a buffer is installed between the auxiliary sheet and the retaining seat. 
     
     
         6 . The auto-returning track device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the buffer is an air pressure or a pneumatic cylinder. 
     
     
         7 . The auto-returning track device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the buffer is a damper. 
     
     
         8 . The auto-returning track device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein an outer side of the positioning buckle is formed with a positioning groove by the confinement of two inclined guide blocks. 
     
     
         9 . An auto-returning track device comprising:
 a retaining track having an U shape cross section; a lower side of the retaining track having a protrusion; the retaining track having a sliding space enclosed by two stops at two ends and a retaining seat;   a movable track received in the sliding space and slideable with respect to the retaining track; the movable track having a hook with respect to the retaining seat;   a movable base received in the sliding space and between the movable track and the retaining seat; at least one returning element being installed between the movable base and the retaining seat; and   a positioning buckle swingably pivoted with the movable base; an outer surface of the positioning buckle being formed with a positioning groove for hooking with a hook of the movable track; a hook portion extending from a lower surface of the movable track; the hook portion can be hooked to the protrusion.   
     
     
         10 . The auto-returning track device as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the movable track has a middle track moveable with respect to the retaining track and an inner track movable with respect to the middle track; the hook is fixed to a frame body of the inner track. 
     
     
         11 . The auto-returning track device as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the movable base is formed by two L shape guiding sheets and an auxiliary sheet; the two guiding sheets are slideable along the two lateral sides along two sides of the retaining track and the auxiliary sheet is connected between the two guiding sheets; each guiding sheet has an elliptical hole and a notch; two lateral sides of the positioning buckle are formed with two axial rods corresponding to the elliptical holes of the two guiding sheets; the two lateral sides of the positioning buckle are formed with two guiding portions; each guiding portion is formed with a combining hole for hooking a returning element. 
     
     
         12 . The auto-returning track device as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the notch is formed with a limiting sheet for resisting against the protrusion. 
     
     
         13 . The auto-returning track device as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein a buffer is installed between the auxiliary sheet and the retaining seat. 
     
     
         14 . The auto-returning track device as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the buffer is an air pressure or a pneumatic cylinder. 
     
     
         15 . The auto-returning track device as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the buffer is a damper.
