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 2):
The finger joint of  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a first support unit installed on the first structure and configured to support a bottom surface of the bridging cover plate on the first structure to be floated from a floor of the first structure; a second support unit installed on the second structure and configured to support the bottom surface of the bridging cover plate on the second structure to be floated from a floor of the second structure, the second support unit being in sliding contact with the second structure; and an elastic pressing mechanism installed on the first structure between the first support unit and the second support unit or on a protrusion structure protruding from the first structure toward the second structure, and configured to elastically press the bridging cover plate downward.
