Abstract
An armoured joint for protecting an edge of a first component formed of settable material and an edge of a second component formed of settable material at a joint, wherein the apparatus includes a first anchorage part for anchoring to the first component and a second anchorage part for anchoring to the second component, a first plate coupled to the first anchorage part, a second plate coupled to the second anchorage part, the first plate defining a first edge, the second plate defining a second edge, wherein the first edge and the second edge are shaped to facilitate bringing together of the first edge and the second edge, and wherein the second anchorage part is adapted to be movable relative to the first anchorage part from a close configuration in which the second edge is brought together with the first edge to a spaced configuration in which the second edge is spaced relative to the first edge, wherein the first anchorage part or the second anchorage part has a support section, the armoured joint including a bracket for supporting the armoured joint relative to a ground surface, the bracket comprising an angled upper leg and an angled lower leg, wherein the bracket is fixed to the support section by the angled upper leg and the angled lower leg, the angled upper leg being fixed to the support section to extend downwardly from the support section at a first angle and the angled lower leg being fixed to the support section to extend upwardly from the support section at a second angle of the same magnitude as the first angle.
