exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method of providing at least one support for stage lighting, grip equipment or other apparatus used to obtain a desired lighting effect comprising: 
 releasably securing to a rail having at least one channel and at least one lip a component specifically adapted to releasably secure to said rail by engaging said lip said component further specifically adapted to releasably engage one of a stage lighting, a grip equipment or an other apparatus used to obtain a desired lighting effect.    
   
   
       2 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the component is a support pin.  
   
   
       3 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the component is a support extension.  
   
   
       4 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the component is a baby pin.  
   
   
       5 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the component is a junior or senior female mount.  
   
   
       6 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the component is a 45 degree pin mount.  
   
   
       7 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the component is a swivel hook.  
   
   
       8 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the component is a male post mount.  
   
   
       9 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the component is a baby pin with a diameter of approximately 0.625 inches.  
   
   
       10 . A method of providing at least one support for stage lighting, grip equipment or other apparatus used to obtain a desired lighting effect comprising: 
 locating a rail having at least one channel and at least one lip in a desired location;    inserting a portion of a component into said channel wherein said portion of said component is adapted to releasably contact said lip and wherein said component is specifically adapted to releasably engage one of a stage lighting, a grip equipment or an other apparatus used to obtain a desired lighting effect,    releasably securing said component to said rail by said portion of said component contacting said lip.    
   
   
       11 . The method of  claim 10  wherein the component is a support pin.  
   
   
       12 . The method of  claim 10  wherein the component is a support extension.  
   
   
       13 . The method of  claim 10  wherein the component is a baby pin.  
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 10  wherein the component is a junior or senior female mount.  
   
   
       15 . The method of  claim 10  wherein the component is a 45 degree pin mount.  
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 10  wherein the component is a swivel hook.  
   
   
       17 . The method of  claim 10  wherein the component is a baby pin with a diameter of approximately 0.625 inches.  
   
   
       18 . The method of  claim 10  wherein the component is a male post mount.  
   
   
       19 . A method of providing at least one support for stage lighting, grip equipment or other apparatus used to obtain a desired lighting effect comprising: 
 providing in a desired location a rail having at least one T or mushroom shape channel;    providing a component specifically adapted to releasably engage one of a stage lighting, a grip equipment or a other apparatus used to obtain a desired lighting effect and having means for securing said component to said rail;    inserting the means for securing said component into said channel; and    activating the means for securing to releasably secure the component to the rail.    
   
   
       20 . The method of  claim 19  wherein the means for securing the component to the rail comprises a T bolt.  
   
   
       21 . The method of  claim 19  wherein the means for securing the component to the rail is one of one or more T bolts, one or more carriage bolts, one or more butterfly bolts, one or more pistons or one or more pins.  
   
   
       22 . The method of  claim 19  wherein the component is a support pin.  
   
   
       23 . The method of  claim 19  wherein the component is a support extension.  
   
   
       24 . The method of  claim 19  wherein the component is a baby pin.  
   
   
       25 . The method of  claim 19  wherein the component is a junior or senior female mount.  
   
   
       26 . The method of  claim 19  wherein the component is a 45 degree pin mount.  
   
   
       27 . The method of  claim 19  wherein the component is a swivel hook.  
   
   
       28 . The method of  claim 19  wherein the component is a male post mount.  
   
   
       29 . The method of  claim 19  wherein the component is a baby pin with a diameter of approximately 0.625 inches.
