Holder for vertical steel rebar

Abstract

A member having first and second vertically extending leg portions, and a base member connecting one end of each leg member, a wood beam for the concrete structure being positioned in the channel formed between the first and second leg portions. A plurality of cup shaped members are formed along the outside surface of the first leg portion, in one embodiment, and along the outside surface of both leg portions in a second embodiment, vertical steel rebars being positioned in selected one of the cup shaped members. Holes may be formed in the base member to receive fasteners to secure the member to the underlying wood frame member. Protrusions are provided on the bottom surface of the base member thus providing a space between the surface and adjacent top surface of said wood frame member to enable the device to be removed after the concrete sets.
