Abstract:
The present disclosure relates generally to systems for providing a durable water-resistant as fire-resistant foam-based seal in the joint between adjacent panels. An expansion joint seal which may be fire-resistant and/or water-resistant, is provided which includes one or more body members, a fire retardant member, which may be of an intumescent member, interspersed within the body member or members, a plurality of resilient members to provide a spring recovery force and fire resistance, and a connector of at least two of the resilient members, which connect each of the resilient members to a cover plant or may connect the two resilient members to one another.

Claim (Index 4):
An expansion joint seal, comprising:\n a elastically-compressible body member,\n the elastically-compressible body member having a foam height; \n a plurality of resilient members,\n at least one of the plurality of resilient members having a fire retardant member attached thereto, \n the fire retardant member having a lateral cross section, the lateral cross section presenting a wave-like profile; \n each of the plurality of resilient members a resilient member spring force; \n each of the plurality of resilient members interspersed within the elastically-compressible body member;\n the elastically-compressible body member adhered to one of at least one of the \n plurality of resilient members and the fire retardant member; \n at least one of one of the plurality of spring members and the fire retardant member extending beyond one of a top surface, a bottom surface, and a side of the elastically-compressible body member, and\n one of a connector or cover plate connected to two of the plurality of resilient members.
