Weldless rebar chairs

A weld-less rebar chair comprising an elongate rod arranged along a predetermined direction, said rod being formed into at least a plurality of loops extending substantially equal distances in a common direction normal to said predetermined direction spaced from each other along said predetermined direction, said loops having free ends and intermediate portions between said free ends and said elongate rod, said intermediate portions being arranged in a common plane defined by said elongate rod and said intermediate portions and said free ends being bent out of said common plane in directions generally normal to said intermediate portions, alternate free ends being bent in opposite orthogonal directions in relation to said common plane, said intermediate portions having lengths within said common plane that are substantially equal to provide legs that can be placed on a surface to stabilize the rebar chair.

A method of producing a form for creating a weld-less rebar chair comprising the steps of selecting a length of an elongate continuous rod and arranging it along a predetermined direction;

• bending said rod to create a plurality of loops extending substantially equal distances in a common direction normal to said predetermined direction spaced from each other along said predetermined direction in a common plane defined by said elongate rod and said elongate loops.

• bending said rod to create at least a plurality of loops extending substantially equal distances in a common direction normal to said predetermined direction spaced from each other along said predetermined direction, bending said loops at transition points to form intermediate portions arranged in a common plane defined by said elongate rod and said intermediate portions and free ends that extend out of said common plane in directions generally normal to said intermediate portions, alternate free ends being bent in opposite orthogonal directions in relation to said common plane, said intermediate portions having lengths within said common plane that are substantially equal to provide legs that can be placed on a surface to stabilize the rebar chairs.
