  • Friction stay and adjustable friction slider
    Patent number: 5081743
    Abstract: A slider for a track, such as the track of a friction stay, comprises a slider body adapted to be slidably received in the track, and slider body includes a recess having a cam mounted therein. Rotation of the cam causes the curved portions of the cam to bear against the sides of the recess, which are thereby slightly deformed. This deformation increases the frictional engagement of the slider with the track.
