Abstract:
Disclosed is a finger joint having a bridging cover plate, which enables a steel plate having a thickness much smaller than that of a conventional finger to be used and allows the vertical rotation of an upper bridge structure. The finger joint includes: a bridging cover plate installed on a first structure and supported to a second structure across a gap so as to support a load of a vehicle passing over the gap, and configured to allow relative movement between the first structure and the second structure in a direction in which the distance of the gap changes; a first finger unit connected to the bridging cover plate; and a second finger unit installed on the second structure so as to allow relative movement relative to the first finger unit in a direction in which the distance of the gap changes.

Claim (Index 3):
The finger joint of  claim 2 , wherein the first support unit comprises:\n a groove member installed on a top surface of the first structure or the bottom surface of the bridging cover plate, and having a spherical groove or a cylindrical groove; and a convex member installed on any one of the top surface of the first structure and the bottom surface of the bridging cover plate where the groove member is not installed, and having a convex spherical surface or a convex cylindrical surface coupled to the spherical groove or the cylindrical groove so as to allow the bridging cover plate to pivot up and down.
