Abstract
A weldless spacer for wire reinforcement of concrete is provided formed of a one piece, stamped design. An upper rail is formed parallel to a lower rail, and a series of vertical support elements are formed parallel to each other but perpendicular to both the upper rail and the lower rail. Flat plate stock, such as galvanized metal is used to formed a corrosion free spacer can supplant entirely the use of conventional reinforcing screens, but can be deployed and used in a manner similar to current conventional techniques.
Claims3
A weldless spacer for reinforcement of concrete comprising:
- an upper rail, wherein said upper rail forms a compound arc shaped cross shaped cross section that forms an “m” shape;
- a lower rail formed parallel to said upper rail;
- a series of vertical support elements affixed to both said upper rail and said lower rail, said vertical support elements parallel to each other but perpendicular to both said upper rail and said lower rail.
