  • Patent number: 4848044
    Abstract: An expansion joint cover having a vapor barrier channel depending from the bellows membrane. Resilient insulation substantially fills the channel, making it possible to attach an insulated vapor-impermeable bellows cover to the expansion joint members in a single operation. A separate layer of foam insulation may be bonded to the underside of the bellows independent of the insulation filling the channel.

  • Patent number: 4663894
    Abstract: A flexible drainage gutter for use under a horizontal surface having moisture accumulation or leaks under cracks or expansion joints. A flexible, waterproof membrane is attached along its elongated edges to rigid flanges which can be attached to the horizontal surface itself or to support members attached to the surface. The width of the membrane can vary so that the membrane hangs down from the flanges a greater distance downstream than upstream, thereby providing for the slope of the gutter. Alternatively, the wall portions of the flanges, to which the edges of the membrane are attached, can vary in width while maintaining the width of the membrane constant to provide for the slope of the gutter.
