Abstract
Device for supporting and connecting concrete reinforcing elements which has a base adapted to rest on a supporting surface, an upright post extending from the base, and a clip mounted on the post having a pair of orthogonal sockets engagable with two horizontally extending reinforcing elements for connecting the elements together at right angles to each other and holding the elements a predetermined distance above the supporting surface.
Claims7
In a device for supporting and connecting concrete reinforcing elements:
- a base adapted to rest on a supporting surface, a plurality of tapered vanes extending upwardly from the base and intersecting along a centerline of the device, a saddle having a pair of upstanding legs at the upper ends of the vanes, and a clip mounted on the legs having a pair of orthogonal sockets engagable with two horizontally extending reinforcing elements for connecting the elements together at right angles to each other and holding the elements a predetermined distance above the supporting surface.
In a device for supporting and connecting concrete reinforcing elements:
- a post consisting of a plurality of longitudinally tapered vanes which are joined together along a common central axis and extend from the axis in radial directions, and a clip at one end of the post for connecting two reinforcing elements together and holding the elements in a predetermined position while concrete is poured around them.
