ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to a watertight expandable and contractible splice joint for use in expansion joints of metal framing systems for storefronts, curtainwalls, and windows, and which accommodates expansion and contraction without extreme deformation in the expansion joint to avoid failure of joint sealant. Accordingly, the invention provides an expandable splice joint in framing systems, which includes two framing members secured in closely spaced relationship forming an expansion space therebetween; and an elongated splice sleeve strip having planar side portions about a central flexible bellows-like portion; the planar side portions being sealed to the framing members alongside the expansion space, respectively, and the bellows portion lying in and along the expansion space.
