Patent ID: 8511931

Claim:
A junction between two successive prefabricated elements for creating a roadway for a vehicle, the junction comprising: at least one connection system ( 1 ) and two successive flat prefabricated elements ( 2 ) for assembly on the ground in a linear succession and generally coplanar, the successive flat prefabricated elements ( 2 ) to be assembled each having at least one transverse end edge ( 4 , 5 ) and two longitudinal lateral surfaces ( 8 ), the at least one transverse end edge ( 4 , 5 ) of one of the successive flat prefabricated elements ( 2 ) being situated, after assembly, facing the edge of the flat prefabricated element ( 2 ) succeeding the successive flat prefabricated elements ( 2 ), wherein the junction of the successive elements comprises: at least one transverse housing ( 6 ) formed by the junction of two transverse channels ( 3 ) each formed in the at least one transverse end edge ( 4 , 5 ) of the successive flat prefabricated elements ( 2 ); at least one passage conduit ( 27 ) formed by associating the extension of two conduits ( 7 ) each made in one of the successive flat prefabricated elements ( 2 ) and each opening on one side at the transverse end edge ( 4 , 5 ) and, on the other side, at one of upper and lower longitudinal lateral surfaces ( 8 ) of the prefabricated element ( 2 ); at least one flexible transverse insert ( 9 ) designed to be placed in at least one transverse housing ( 6 ) and extend essentially across an entire width of at the least one transverse housing ( 6 ); at least one guiding means ( 10 ) to be located inside at least one of the passage conduits ( 27 ); tensioning means for the at least one guiding means ( 10 ); and means for maintaining the assembly of the two successive flat prefabricated elements ( 2 ).
