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 7):
The finger joint of  claim 1 , wherein the first finger unit is coupled to the bridging cover plate through the connecting mechanism, and\n the connecting mechanism comprises: a connecting member having a hole formed in a portion disposed below the bridging cover plate and coupled to the first finger; a convex member provided at one of a bottom surface of the bridging cover plate and a position of being inserted into the hole to be in sliding contact with the second structure and having a convex spherical surface or a convex cylindrical surface; and a concave member provided at a remaining one of the bottom surface of the bridging cover plate and the position of being inserted into the hole to be in sliding contact with the second structure and having a concave spherical surface or a concave cylindrical surface coupled to the convex spherical surface or the convex cylindrical surface.
