A sliding and deformable bearing for insertion between building components liable to limited respective movement or creep, consisting of a flattened tube with loops at the ends of the flat part as seen in cross-section, means within the tube to facilitate relative sliding movement between the inner faces of the tube, and a flat deformable thickening of one wall of the tube to function as a bearing body. The dimensions of the parts are such that initial movement between the components is accommodated by sliding movement, and final limited movement, when one of the loops has been reduced in size, by deformation of the bearing body. |
