A track arrangement (2) for supporting wall studs (7, 7a) is provided. The track arrangement includes a central longitudinal extension (21), first and second sidewalls (11, 12) and a first stud clip arrangement (15) comprising a pair of stud clips (18, 19). In a preferred embodiment, each clip (18, 19) comprises a portion of the sidewall bent inwardly, to form a cam surface and a stud ridge receiver. During use, the stud is forced toward the cam surface, bending the clip until a portion of the stud, specifically a stud ridge, is received in the stud ridge receiver. This will secure the stud (7) in place, against undesired movement relative to the track. Wall assemblies are provided which preferably involve one such track arrangement positioned on the floor as a floor track (6), and one on the ceiling, as a ceiling track (5), with a stud (7) extending therebetween. The wall framework (1) assembly can be assembled as a slip track, or as a non-slip track. <IMAGE> |
