Abstract:
A system which creates a durable seal between adjacent horizontal panels, including those that may be curved or subject to temperature expansion and contraction or mechanical shear. The durable seal system incorporates a plurality of ribs, a flexible member between the cover plate and the ribs and may incorporate a load transfer plate to provide support to the rib from below, and/or cores of differing compressibilities.

Claim (Index 17):
An expansion joint seal comprising:\n a cover plate, a plurality of ribs having integrally-formed hook protrusions having inclined surfaces extending upwardly from the first side of the rib, an elastically-compressible core having a core bottom surface, and a core top surface, the plurality of ribs extending through the elastically-compressible core at the core top surface, the rib extending to the core bottom surface, a flexible member attached to the cover plate and to each of the plurality of ribs,\n wherein each of the plurality of ribs remains rotatable in relation to the cover plate, and \n a first stabilizer extending into the elastically-compressible core from an end of the rib opposite the cover plate on a first side of the rib.
