The invention is about a dilatation profile system (DPS) with a smooth top surface.
CONVENTIONAL PRODUCTS
Conventional rubber-aluminum based expansion Joint Systems’ rubber profiles have the following disadvantages: 1. The upper surface of the rubber profiles can be quite dangerous to walk on for women who wear high-heeled shoes. 2. Their sections are very likely for dirt accumulation. 3. The upper surfaces of these systems are not easy to clean.
OBJECTIVE
The present rubber-aluminum based expansion joint profile system introduces a new structural design for the rubber profiles that can absorb the movements of the joint and also eliminates the before mentioned disadvantages of the conventional systems. Another purpose of this floor expansion joint system is to develop an amorphous structural design that introduces a more effective stress distribution on the members under vertical loads and establishes the required strengths with less usage of material
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
When the expansion gap width is decreased or increased due to external loads the Rubber Profile’s arc-type links (2.2) absorbs the increment/decrement of the gap width. The Over-layered arms of Rubber profiles (2.1) ensure that the system perform the movement without introducing a larger gap on its upper surface. The upper design of this flexible rubber sections prevents the dirt accumulation on the upper surface and also offers an easy to clean surface. The ground profile#1 (1) section is designed so that it can be used both for under-floor covering and over-floor covering applications.
ADVANTAGES
1. The upper surface design of the rubber profiles is safe to walk for women who wear high-heeled shoes. 2. The upper surface design prevents dirt accumulation. 3. The upper surface is easy-to-clean. 4. The amorphous structural design introduces a more effective stress distribution on the members and establishes the required strengths with less usage of material.
