Claim:
A joint cover system operable to span a gap between two surfaces, each surface including a top face and a side face, the system comprising: a first base member coupled with an uppermost portion of the top face of one of the surfaces, the first base member including a first leg; a second base member coupled with an uppermost portion of the top face of the other surface, the second base member including a first leg; a covering member monolithically formed with the base members to span the gap; an intumescent sheet uninterruptedly spanning the entire gap between the first base member and the second base member; and a unitary support structure including an inner surface and an outer surface, with the inner surface directly coupled with the intumescent sheet and at least a portion of the outer surface in direct contact with the side face of both surfaces, wherein the first leg of the first base member and the first leg of the second base member each perpendicularly couple to the covering member to create space between the covering member and the gap.
