Abstract
An adjustable height rebar chair includes a threaded rebar support column threadably connected to a tripod base, and each consists of a respective one-piece body of molded plastic. A top end of the rebar support column terminates in an adjustment handle that defines first and second concave rebar cradles that are orthogonal to each other. The rebar support column also includes a vertical surface extending from the adjustment handle toward a bottom end of a threaded rod, and the vertical surface has numerical indicia that decrease in magnitude in a direction toward the adjustment handle. A number of the numerical indicia that is located next to a top of the central core corresponds to a distance along a vertical centerline from the three feet of the tripod base to at least one of the first and second concave rebar cradles.

An adjustable height rebar chair comprising:
- a tripod base consisting of a one-piece body of molded plastic that defines a vertical centerline and includes three feet separated from a central core by three legs, respectively, and the central core defining a threaded bore that is concentric with the vertical centerline, and the three leas extend downward from the central core toward the three feet;
- a rebar support column consisting of a one-piece body of molded plastic that includes a threaded rod, which is threadably received in the threaded bore, that terminates at a top end in an adjustment handle that defines a first concave rebar cradle and a second concave rebar cradle oriented perpendicular to the first concave rebar cradle;
- the rebar support column includes a vertical surface extending from the adjustment handle toward a bottom end of the threaded rod, and the vertical surface having numerical indicia that decrease in magnitude in a direction toward the adjustment handle;
- and
- wherein a number of the numerical indicia that is located next to a top of the central core corresponds to a distance along the vertical centerline from the three feet to at least one of the first concave rebar cradle and the second concave rebar cradle.
