Claim:
An anchor system for attaching a series of structural members to a wall, the anchor system comprising: a wall having a concrete filled upper region; an elongate horizontal track having a pair of spaced apart sidewalls defining therebetween an outwardly facing channel with a restricted opening, and having a generally uniform cross-section configured for securing the track to a wall; and a plurality of inserts sized to pass between the sidewalls at a first orientation with respect to the track, and sized to fit within the channel and engage the sidewalls to retain the inserts at selected longitudinal positions at a second orientation with respect to the track, the inserts being adapted for attaching structural members thereto; wherein the track is disposed within the concrete filled upper region of the wall such that the channel is embedded within the concrete for securing the track therein and the opening faces upward and out of the concrete; and wherein the track has a length for providing adjustability of the inserts continuously along the length of the wall, and the track defines a horizontal reinforcing member of the wall for distributing uplift loads from the structural members along the length of the wall.
