Protective cover for concrete reinforcing bar

A protective cover for covering an end of a concrete reinforcing bar so as to prevent injuries caused by coming into contact with an exposed end of the concrete reinforcing bar, said protective cover comprising:

• a collar for securing the protective cover to the exposed end of the concrete reinforcing bar;
• a cap which is arranged perpendicularly to the collar;
• and
• a seat having retaining means for retaining an end portion of the concrete reinforcing bar within the seat, the seat being disposed between the elongated cylindrical collar and the cap and is capable of withstanding an impact of a 250 pound weight without a penetration failure cased by the concrete reinforcing bar,
• wherein, when the protective cover is subjected to an impact while secured to the end of the concrete reinforcing bar, the retaining means prevent the concrete reinforcing bar from being forced out from beneath the seat and penetrating the cap.

A detachably assembled protective cover for covering an end of a concrete reinforcing bar so as to prevent injuries caused by coming into contact with an exposed end of the concrete reinforcing bar, said detachably assembled protective cover comprising:

• a bar guard portion comprising a collar section integrally formed with a top portion at one end and dimensioned to receive within the collar the concrete reinforcing bar at the other end;
• a cover portion having a bar guard receptacle detachably receiving the top portion of the bar guard portion and a cap which is arranged perpendicularly to said bar guard receptacle;
• and
• a seat having retaining walls for retaining an end portion of the concrete reinforcing bar, the seat being placed between the bar guard portion and the cover portion and is capable of withstanding an impact of a 250 pound weight without a penetration failure cased by the concrete reinforcing bar,
• wherein, when the protective cover is subjected to an impact while secured to the end of the concrete reinforcing bar, the retaining walls prevent the concrete reinforcing bar from being forced out from beneath the seat and penetrating the cover portion.
