ABSTRACT:
A sealing device (1) for a settlement joint (2) between two building members (3 and 4) consists of two anchoring units (5) connecting with the building members (3,4), placed on opposite sides of the settlement joint (2), as well as an elastic bridge unit (6). The bridge unit (6) is connected at its longitudinal edges with the anchoring units (5) in such manner that a longitudinal leg (7) of an anchoring unit (5), protruding approximately perpendicularly from the building members (3 or 4), penetrates into an open longitudinal groove (8) in the bridge unit (6), corresponding to the respective building member (3 or 4). To avoid leaks due to assembly defect with certainty and to guarantee ease of assembly, it is proposed that the bridge unit (6) include a rib defining a downwardly open locking groove U-shape at both edges, each said locking groove encompassing a clamp leg (9) of anchoring unit (5), located at the side of the longitudinal leg (7) facing away from the settlement joint (2), also protruding perpendicularly from the building members (3 or 4), a clamp strip of spring material holding the ribs of the bridge member over the clamp legs.
