ABSTRACT:
A multi-functional, universal guide rail member is provided, for incorporation in an architectural joint system. Typically, one such guide rail member is mounted on each of two adjacent, relatively movable structures and cooperates with pivotally mounted centering bars to maintain a covering plate in centered position. The guide rail member incorporates in a single, integral unit a continuous guide groove for the centering bars, an open-sided slot for receiving fastening means (or, in some cases, caulking), and an outwardly facing slot for receiving anchoring means. The multi-functional guide rail member is usefully employed in conjunction with standard off-the-shelf structural components, such as channels and angle members, to accommodate mounting of the guide rail members in a variety of architectural configurations. In some architectural joint systems the multi-functional guide rail members may be employed in a manner making use of less than all of their functions, adding to the universality and economy of the system.
