Abstract: This invention provides an improvement in a road joint assembly wherein the amount of formwork required for installation of the joint is reduced, and wherein the joint assembly is particularly useful for installations where snow plows are utilized to clear snow from roads. In accordance with the invention, the road joint assembly comprises a pair of spaced-apart rail members which have a height at least two times their width. The rail members are provided with a plurality of spaced-apart anchoring members connected to the rear wall of the rail members. The anchoring members have a top surface which extends above the rear wall of the rail members and the rail members are recessed below the road surface, so that the top surface of the anchoring members is in substantially the same plane as the road surface.

Abstract: This invention provides a one-piece joining element of extruded material suitable for joining floor or similar sections together comprising a main body having opposed top and bottom surfaces, the body having a first side having an upper wall section and a spaced apart lower wall section, a first chamber in the body adapted to receive a portion of a sealing member and an opening extending between the upper and lower wall sections of the first side. The opening is in communication with the first chamber and a second side in generally opposed relationship to the first side, the body having a second retention chamber adapted to receive a joinder member in engaging relationship therewith, the second side having an opening therein in communication with the second retention chamber, the opening forming a restricted mouth with the second chamber.
