Abstract: Embodiments of an expansion joint are provided. The expansion joint is configured to cover a gap between a first architectural surface and a second architectural surface. The expansion joint includes a panel having a first surface and a second surface in which the second surface is opposite the first surface. When the panel covers the gap, the panel is magnetically connected to both of the first architectural surface or the second architectural surface. In specific embodiments, at least one of the magnetic structures that magnetically connect the panel to both of the first architectural surface or the second architectural surface is allowed to move in response to movement of the panel. In more specific embodiments, the movement of the magnetic structure is a tilting movement.

Abstract: A system for attaching a flexible expansion joint to the surface of a building such as the floor of a building. The system for attaching the joint is configured to secure the joint and provide, in effect, a form up to which a top coat of material such as concrete or asphalt can applied over an existing floor structure. The system provides a universal base unit upon which common extension units can be attached and stacked to vary the height of the form for the surface coat.

Abstract: A fire barrier assembly includes a fire barrier, mounting elements and securement elements. The mounting elements are positioned along the length of the fire barrier on an inner surface of the fire barrier. The mounting elements engage one or more of the securement elements to the fire barrier. When installed within an expansions space, the securement elements are used to tension mount the fire barrier assembly securely and generally immovably within the expansion space, without the need for any mechanical, adhesive, or other fixed connection to anchor the fire barrier assembly in place. As such, no modification to the building structures defining the expansion space (e.g. no drilling holes, applying adhesive, etc.) is need to mount the fire barrier assembly. If desired, the fire barrier assembly may easily be detached and removed from the expansion space.
