ABSTRACT:
The connecting strip is made of a resilient material and is adapted to be inserted into a joint, a connecting element (16) engaging in an undercut groove (9) in the edge-element (7,8) of a joint. A continuous longitudinal notch (13) in the strip facilitates deformation of the connecting element (16). In order to facilitate the installation of the said strip in the sealing position in the joint, the said notch is arranged on the inside of the said connecting element, and the latter is buckled towards the middle of the joint, thus opening the notch. In the ultimate position, the connecting element is straightened and the notch closed.
