Expansion Joint with Cover Plate
An expansion joint system is provided which uses magnets to hold a cover plate to a base frame of a substrate. The expansion joint system allows the magnets to slide over the base frame/cover plate during normal movements of the substrates without applying tension to the cover plate. In a seismic or other disruptive event, the cover plate is tethered to the building via a bungee.
