Abstract

The track wall system includes at least one elongated track having a base and opposite sidewalls extending from the base, the base and sidewalls defining a stud layout trough therebetween, each of the sidewalls includes a plurality of pairs of discontinuous stud holding notches disposed at regular intervals along the length of the track, each pair of stud holding notches defines a space therebetween adapted to hold a stud, a plurality of studs disposed between opposing pairs of stud holding notches, and each notch includes projections that securely holds the stud for fast and reliable installation of a wall frame . . . .

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A track wall system, comprising:
 an elongated bottom track and top track, each of the tracks having a base and opposing sidewalls extending from the base to define a stud layout trough therebetween, each of the sidewalls having an elongated edge opposite the base and at least one pair of stud holding notches defined in each of the edges;   a projection extending from each of the notches; and   at least one stud disposed between opposing pairs of stud holding notches and between the top and bottom tracks, each of the opposing pair of stud holding notches being spaced at regular predefined layout intervals along each of the sidewalls to thereby eliminate on-site measuring of a particular wall frame layout.   
     
     
         2 . The track wall system according to  claim 1  wherein each of the tracks is substantially U-shaped in cross section. 
     
     
         3 . The track wall system according to  claim 1 , wherein the notches in each of the pairs are spaced apart by the thickness of the stud. 
     
     
         4 . The track wall system according to  claim 1 , wherein each said projection extends inwardly toward the stud layout trough at an angle. 
     
     
         5 . The track wall system according to  claim 1 , wherein each said projection of said at least one pair of notches is disposed in mirror opposite configuration with respect to each other. 
     
     
         6 . The track wall system according to  claim 1 , wherein each said projection is substantially triangular.
