Abstract:
The present technology relates to beams having a cross section defining a plurality of channels and assemblies comprising the beams. In embodiments the cross section may define four channels, facing in four directions. The cross section has the advantages of providing structural channels that provide strength, platforms for attaching sliding and fastening components, and conduits for protecting internal components. The interior and exterior surfaces of the channels are configured to permit multiple carriers to slide/roll in linear motion independently in multiple directions, with smooth action and stability due to one or more guiding features to distribute load. These and other embodiments are discussed in greater detail in the detailed description and drawing figures.

Claim (Index 1):
A beam, comprising:\n one or more substantially rectangular channels, wherein each channel is defined by:\n a back inner surface; \n two side inner surfaces, wherein the side inner surfaces face each other, and wherein the side inner surfaces extend from and are perpendicular to the back inner surface; and \n a front side comprising:\n two flanges each extending from an end of a different one of the two side inner surfaces, wherein the ends of the side inner surfaces are opposite the back inner surface, and wherein each flange comprises:\n a first portion extending perpendicularly from one of the two side inner surfaces and defining a first inner surface parallel to and facing the back inner surface; \n a second portion extending perpendicularly from the first portion and toward the back inner surface, wherein the second portion is planar and defines a side rolling surface, wherein the side rolling surfaces of each flange face each other and define an opening to the channel; and \n a third portion extending perpendicularly from the second portion and toward the side inner surface from which the first portion of the flange extends, wherein the third portion defines a third inner surface that is planar and is parallel to and faces the back inner surface.
