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 15):
The finger joint of  claim 2 , wherein the second support unit comprises:\n a convex member provided at one of a bottom surface of the bridging cover plate over the second structure and a position where the convex member is 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 over the second structure and a position where the concave member is in sliding contact with the second structure and having a spherical groove or a concave cylindrical surface coupled to the convex spherical surface or the convex cylindrical surface.
