Abstract
A rebar attachment device includes a vertical attachment device having a base member that includes a bottom surface for making contact with a piling, and a top surface for positioning a sleeve and a pair of flexible chairs. Each of the chairs acts to removably engage and position a rebar rod at a predetermined separation distance from the base member. A rebar attachment system includes at least one vertical rebar attachment device, at least one horizontal rebar attachment device, a tether for positioning the at least one vertical device onto a piling, and a tether connector for securing the tether to the piling.
Claims18
A vertical rebar attachment device for securing rebar rods to a piling, said device comprising:
- a base member having a bottom surface configured to make contact with a piling, and a top surface;
- a sleeve secured to the base member, said sleeve including a pair of diametrically opposed openings and a hollow interior portion forming a channel for receiving a tether;
- and
- a pair of flexible chairs secured to the top surface of the base member, each of said chairs being configured to removably engage and position a rebar rod in a vertical orientation and at a predetermined separation distance from the base member.
A horizontal rebar attachment device for securing rebar rods to a piling, said device comprising:
- a base member having a bottom surface and a top surface;
- a pair of vertical chairs secured to the top surface of the base member, each of said chairs being configured to removably engage a pre-installed vertical rod;
- and
- a horizontal chair configured to removably engage and position another rebar rod in a horizontal orientation.
(canceled)
A rebar attachment system for securing rebar rods to a piling, said system comprising:
- an elongated tether having a first end, a second end, and a length greater than an outside dimension of the pile;
- a tether connector configured to secure the first and second ends of the tether together around the pile;
- a plurality of vertical rebar attachment devices, each of said devices including
- a base member having a bottom surface configured to make contact with the piling, and a top surface,
- a sleeve having a pair of diametrically opposed openings and a hollow interior portion forming a channel configured to receive the tether, and
- a pair of flexible chairs secured to the top surface of the base member, each of said chairs being configured to removably engage and position a rebar rod at a predetermined separation distance from the base member,
- wherein said tether is further configured to securely position the at least one attachment device to the piling;
- and
- a plurality of horizontal rebar attachment devices, each of said devices including
- a base member having a bottom surface and a top surface,
- a pair of vertical chairs secured to the top surface, each vertical chair of the horizontal rebar attachment device being configured to removably engage a pre-installed vertical rod, and
- a horizontal chair configured to removably engage and position another rebar rod in a horizontal orientation.
