Abstract
The present expansion gap sealing device has a plurality of strips and elastomeric bodies between adjacent strips which extend longitudinally through the gap. The strips are supported by legs extending downwardly into the gap. Upper ends of the legs are connected to the strips. Lower ends of the strips are interconnected with each other in pairs whereby adjacent legs form a pair and an elastically yielding structure. The lower leg ends may be interconnected by bars and the entire supporting structure may be guided by movably supported guide means in the gap.
Claims31
In an expansion gap sealing device for bridging an expansion gap between edges of structural members, wherein rigid gap strips and elastic strips are alternately arranged to extend in parallel to each other and longitudinally inside the gap, said rigid and elastic strips forming an expansion and sealing assembly which is connected along its outer sides to the edges of the gap, and which is carried by supporting structure means variable in its length across the gap and connected on both sides to the edges of the gap, the improvement wherein said supporting structure means comprises at least two supporting legs each having an upper end and a lower end, first means connecting said upper leg ends to said rigid gap strips so that the legs extend downwardly into the gap, and second holding means to which said lower legs are connected to form an elastically yielding supporting structure.
