Cantilevered expansion finger joint apparatus

A roadway expansion joint apparatus comprises at least one finger joint that extends across an expansion gap. Each finger joint comprises a base plate, a finger unit, a pivot and a cantilever support. The finger unit comprises a body and at least one unsupported finger extending longitudinally from a distal end of the body. The pivot pivotally couples the finger unit to the base plate about a vertical pivot axis. The cantilever support is located at or between the pivot and a proximal end of the finger unit; the cantilever support allows pivoting of the finger unit relative to the base plate about a vertical pivot axis and impedes pivoting of the finger unit relative to the base plate about a horizontal axis, thereby cantilevering the finger joint to the base plate at the cantilever support.

EXPANSION JOINT COVER

Transition construction for bridging a building joint
11236473 · 2022-02-01 · ·

A transition construction for bridging a building joint between two component parts of a building with at least one cover element that at least partially covers the building joint. The cover element is attached to a component part of the building via an anchoring structure, wherein the anchoring structure is configured such that the at least one cover element is selectively supported.

Joint filling profile
11359367 · 2022-06-14 · ·

A joint filling profile for forming a joint sealing between floor slabs includes a vertical leg projecting into the joint and a profile body formed from a joint sealing compound and located in a joint widening. The vertical leg and the profile body are separated from each other with the interposition of a first separating material, wherein at least one second separating material is arranged between the vertical leg and the profile body and/or at least one reinforcing mat is arranged within the profile body. The second separating material and/or the reinforcing mat are arranged in such a way that they overlap with the first separating material at least in regions.

Expansion joint system and expansion joint

An expansion joint sealing system for bridging and sealing a gap located between two spaced-apart structural deck members. The expansion joint sealing system includes an elastomeric seal member and a substantially rigid plate member. The elastomeric seal member is fixedly attached to an underlying structural deck member and is able to expand and contract in the longitudinal direction in relation to the traffic direction across the expansion joint. The rigid plate is not fastened to the elastomeric seal member with mechanical fasteners or other fastening means, but is slidingly engaged with the elastomeric seal member through an elongated guide member. As the rigid plate member is not fastened to the elastomeric seal member, it is able to move along a guide member in a direction that is transverse to the direction of traffic across the expansion joint.

Finger joint with a bridging cover plate

A finger joint having a bridging cover plate, which enables a steel plate having a thickness much smaller than that of a conventional finger to be used and allows the vertical rotation of an upper bridge structure. The finger joint includes: a bridging cover plate installed on a first structure and supported to a second structure across a gap so as to support a load of a vehicle passing over the gap, and configured to allow relative movement between the first structure and the second structure in a direction in which the distance of the gap changes; a first finger unit connected to the bridging cover plate; and a second finger unit installed on the second structure so as to allow relative movement relative to the first finger unit in a direction in which the distance of the gap changes.
