Abstract:
The present invention relates to an expansion joint to bridge an expansion gap between two parts of concrete slabs used in floor construction, especially in the manufacture of concrete floors such as for example in industrial floors. Such expansion joints are evidently required to take up the inevitable shrinkage process of the concrete and to assure that the floor elements can expand or contract such as for example occur by temperature fluctuations and resulting in a horizontal displacement of the floor panels vis-à-vis one another.

Claim (Index 2):
The expansion joint of  claim 1 , wherein said anchoring dowel is a continuous bridging dowel connected at regular intervals to the upper portion and the lower portion of the expansion joint at connection points.
