Benefits of technology

"The invention is a bracket designed to support rebar in concrete structures. It can be used as a saddle over an intermediate rebar directed to the bracket. The bracket has a C-shaped rebar receiving portion to prevent the rebar from floating in the concrete. It also has a slotted portion and an appendage that rests on the rebar. The bracket can be made from metal plate, wire material, or plastic. Its technical effect is to provide stable support for rebar in concrete structures."

Problems solved by technology

Attempts to remove or patch these images can be costly, time consuming, affects the appearance of the finish wall, and can in many cases cause rust to bleed to the surface.
In addition, these chairs are relatively expensive.

Embodiment Construction

[0018]Referring now to the drawings, FIGS. 1A-1C and 2A-2C disclose various embodiments of the present invention, which is a rebar support bracket for use in forming concrete structures, depicted generally as 10.

[0019]Although the embodiments are similar, the main difference is that the same functional features are being provided by configuring the features using different materials such as metal material or plastic material (typically extruded) as depicted in FIGS. 1A-1B or configured using metal wire material such as that depicted conceptually in FIGS. 2A-2B.

[0020]Generally, the invention is a rebar support bracket 10 for use in forming concrete structures comprising an elongate vertically oriented bracket member 12 having means 16 for securing a transverse running rebar member 14 both near and upper end 12a and near a lower end 12b of the bracket member 12. The bracket member 12 has at an intermediate location 12c thereof, means 26 for resting said bracket member 12 on a supporte...

Abstract

A rebar support bracket for use in forming concrete structures formed so as to be saddled over a supported rebar member. The bracket member is configured to be spaced a predetermined distance away from a form member and has an upper and lower generally C-shaped appendage to receive transverse running rebar members.

Description

RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 677,596 filed Feb. 22, 2007, which in turn claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60 / 816,405 filed Jun. 26, 2006.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The invention relates to the field of tilt-up wall concrete construction and other concrete construction fields.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]The construction of tilt-up walls requires the placement of rebar within the forms, including common bulkhead forms. Rebar chairs with legs to support the placed rebar can leave spider looking images after the wall if lifted in place. Attempts to remove or patch these images can be costly, time consuming, affects the appearance of the finish wall, and can in many cases cause rust to bleed to the surface. In addition, these chairs are relatively expensive. The invention described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 677,596 filed Feb. 22, 2007, which is herein incorpor...
