JOINT ASSEMBLY

摘要

In a concrete construction (10) a dowel sleeve (16) is held in its operative position prior to pouring the slab (17) by a stand (18) at one end, a stake (19) at the other end and its head portion (20) positioned inside and held captive in a channel (21) of a joint plate (13). So that there is room for the dowel to move the stand 18 includes a plurality of projecting tabs 22 as well as frangible fingers (23 and 24), the fingers (23 and 24) abut the dowel and ensure there is a space to cater for dowel movement once the slabs have been poured by being able to flex or break. The stand (17) is universal having tabs (22) and fingers (23) set at different heights to cater for slabs of different height. There are also joint plates of varying width.
