Claim:
1. An accessory mounting track for removably attaching and positioning one or more accessory devices to a supporting surface, the accessory mounting track comprising: a C-shaped slot channel within the accessory mounting track and disposed substantially parallel to a central axis of the accessory mounting track for supporting at least a portion of a fastener in the slot channel for selective movement of the fastener portion in the slot channel, a slot opening in an uppermost substantially flat mounting surface of the accessory mounting track, the uppermost substantially flat mounting surface being the uppermost structure of the accessory mounting track with no other structure of the accessory mounting track there above, the slot opening bounded on each side by a containment ledge, the slot opening and the containment ledge at least partially defining the slot channel, the slot opening being disposed substantially parallel to a central axis of the accessory mounting track, the slot opening and the containment ledge cooperating to provide a restrictive passage for at least a portion of the fastener through the slot opening, a bottom having a first interface surface and a second interface surface laterally spaced apart from the first interface surface for engaging a supporting surface, the first and second interface surfaces being planar and approximately lying in a common plane, a recess on the bottom of the accessory mounting track between the first interface surface and the second interface surface to minimize the risks of a curved or irregular supporting surface making contact in regions between the first interface surface and the second interface surface, and one or more attachment holes for attaching the accessory mounting track to the support surface by putting fasteners through one or more of the attachment holes and securing the fasteners to the supporting surface.
