Problems solved by technology

Improperly placed rebar, or rebar outside of coverage tolerances can detrimentally impact the strength of the concrete structure.
However, the prior art lacks concrete form bracing options, which also provide a convenient means to secure rebar at multiple depths within poured concrete.
Furthermore, the prior art lacks concrete form bracing options, which provide a means to secure horizontal rebar at optimal vertical depths for accurate “L” shaped vertical rebar securement.

Embodiment Construction

[0017]FIGS. 1-4 illustrate the Concrete Form Brace 10. The Concrete Form Brace includes two opposing attachment members 11, which attach the Concrete Form Brace 10 to concrete form elements 12. The attachment members 11 are comprised of a first top end 13, and a second bottom end 14. Said first top end 13 is further comprised of an approximate 90-degree connected horizontal portion 15, which engages the upper horizontal thickness 16 of the concrete form elements 12. Said horizontal portion 15 is generally sized the same as the measured horizontal thickness 16 of the concrete form elements 12 to provide a secure fit of the Concrete Form Brace 10 on the concrete form elements 12. The approximately 90-degree connection 20 between the first top end 13 and horizontal portion 15 can be scored to allow for easily breaking off the horizontal portion 15 once poured concrete 17 has cured. The horizontal portion 15 is further comprised of an approximate 90-degree connection 18 to a downward ex...

Abstract

The described Concrete Form Brace With Multi-Depth Rebar Positioning is comprised of opposing attachment members, which secure the brace to the concrete form elements. The attachment members have a first top end, and a second bottom end. The corresponding bottom ends of the attachment members are connected by a spanning element, which spans the width of the concrete form. The attachment members and spanning element are further connected by a plurality of reinforcing struts. Rebar attachment means at multiple vertical depths within the concrete form are integrated or connected to the reinforcing struts to provide rebar securement means at multiple depths within the poured concrete. The preferred embodiment also features vertical spacing between horizontally placed rebar to accommodate “L” shaped vertical rebar placement for applications where vertical rebar is specified.
