JOINT DE TASSEMENT POUR CONSTRUCTIONS

摘要

A bearing for structural elements is made by first providing at least two foil components each of which has a free surface which in use of the bearing is to slidingly engage the free surface of the respective other component. Thereupon the free surfaces are placed into face-to-face abutment and the two components are subjected to such forces and movements as at least approximate those which the finished bearing is expected to encounter in actual use, for instance by advancing the foil components between two pressure rollers rotating in mutually opposite directions. In so doing the bearing has imparted thereto a predetermined at least substantially constant coefficient of friction before it is subjected to actual use, and which coefficient of friction it could otherwise only attain over a period of time in actual use. actual use.
