Abstract
A unitary wire chair is disclosed for supporting concrete reinforcing rebar or the like above a supporting surface onto which concrete is poured. The unitary wire chair is so constructed such that it may be snapped or otherwise secured onto the rebar or other concrete reinforcing element and retained thereon without the use of any tie wire or other attachment devices.
Description
- The present invention relates to spacers, or so-called chairs, that are used in construction for the support of rebar, post-tension cables or wire mesh. More particularly, the present invention relates to chairs made of wire that are used for the support of rebar, post-tension cables, or wire mesh in poured concrete.
- Spacers, or so-called chairs, are commonly used in the concrete construction industry for the support of rebar or post-tension cables or mesh above a surface onto which concrete is to be poured. Typically, rebar, cable or mesh, when used to reinforce concrete, must be supported above the surface onto which the concrete is poured. Chairs are generally used with poured concrete decks, pre-cast work, and bridges, roads or so-called slab-on-grade applications. In use, a rebar supporting surface on the chair supports the rebar while the base of the chair rests on the deck or surface to which the concrete is to be applied. When the concrete is poured, the chair maintains the cable or rebar a proper distance above the supporting surface.
- Currently, one of the most popular chairs used to support rebar is made from a pair of bent wires. A first bent wire is generally in the shape of an inverted U and has a recessed surface in the cross bar at the top onto which the rebar is located. The sides of the U-shaped wire support the recessed cross bar in an upright condition above the supporting surface. A second wire is formed as an inverted U and is welded to the bottom edge of the cross bar of the first wire and extends at 90° to that cross bar. The second wire also has vertically extending legs which support the second wire above the supporting surface. Generally, to prevent the rebar supported from this type of wire chair during pouring of the concrete, the rebar is tied to the supporting surface of the chair by a tie wire.
- One problem with this type of wire chair is that it is relatively expensive to manufacture because of the welding required in the course of its manufacture, but also because it requires substantial hand labor to manually attach the rebar to the chair by means of tie wires. It has therefore been an objective of this invention to provide a wire chair which is less costly to manufacture and which eliminates the need for tie wires to attach the wire chair to the rebar.
- There have been rebar supporting chairs manufactured which do not require the use of tie wires for attachment of the chair to the rebar. For example, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,893,252, there are chairs which may be snap-fit onto the rebar so as to support that rebar above a supporting surface, but such snap-on-type of rebar supporting chairs have generally been made of plastic and are substantially more expensive and difficult to manufacture than wire rebar supporting chairs. It has therefore been another objective of this invention to provide a wire rebar supporting chair which may be snapped onto a rebar and frictionally held thereon without the need for tie wires or a complex plastic snap-fit connection.
- The wire rebar chairs of this invention are formed from a single unitary wire which supports a concrete reinforcing rebar or the like and which are so constructed that they may be snapped onto or otherwise secured onto the rebar or other concrete reinforcing element and retained thereon without the use of tie wires or other attachment devices. To that end, one embodiment of the invention comprises three parallel cross bars, a central one of which is adapted to be received atop a rebar and the other two parallel cross bars of which are adapted to be received on the underside of the rebar with connecting bars connected to opposite ends of the central one of the three parallel cross bars and riser bars extending downwardly away from the ends of each of the other two parallel cross bars, which riser bars terminate in a supporting foot. The supporting foot is intended to rest upon the supporting surface while concrete is poured onto that supporting surface. Preferably, this wire chair is heat-treated after formation of the chair so as to impart spring-like qualities to the wire chair, such that when secured onto a rebar, the spring-like qualities retain the wire chair on the rebar against any forces which it might otherwise tend to displace it.
- Another embodiment of the invention comprises a single unitary wire formed as two riser bars extending upwardly from opposite ends of a support foot section of wire. The two upwardly extending riser bars terminate in generally U-shaped loops which snap over and onto opposite sides of a rebar or like concrete reinforcing wire.
- In yet another embodiment of the invention, a single unitary wire has a straight upper horizontal bar section from the opposite ends of which are formed generally U-shaped loops which snap over a rebar or rebar-like concrete reinforcing wire. At the end of the loops opposite the straight horizontal bar section, riser bars extend generally downwardly to supporting foot sections of wire.
- As a still further modification of the embodiment described immediately hereinabove, the generally U-shaped loops are connected to a generally V-shaped nose section of the chair wire rather than a straight upper bar section of the unitary wire.
- These and other variations and embodiments of this invention will be more readily apparent from the following description of the drawings, in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the wire chair of this invention supporting a rebar shown in phantom; -
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of multiple chairs supporting a rebar above a supporting surface; -
FIG. 3 is a side elevational view of the wire chair ofFIG. 1 supporting a rebar; -
FIG. 4 is a top plan view of the wire chair ofFIG. 1 , the rebar being shown in phantom; -
FIG. 5 is a perspective view illustrating how the wire chair ofFIGS. 1-4 is applied to the rebar; -
FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a modified form of chair incorporating the invention of this application; and -
FIGS. 7, 8 and 9 are perspective views of three further embodiments of the invention of this application. - With reference first to
FIG. 1 , there is illustrated a concrete reinforcing element ofrebar 10 and arebar chair 12 made of one piece of wire 5 for supporting that rebar 10 a predetermined distance above a support surface 14 (seeFIG. 2 ). Thechair 12 comprises threeparallel cross bars connector bars FIG. 3 , the centermost one of these threecross bars 18 is located atop therebar 10 and the twoother cross bars rebar 10. At its opposite ends, thecentermost cross bar 18 is connected to thecross bars connector bars uppermost cross bar 18. Ninety degree (90°)bends cross bar 18 to theconnector bars FIG. 4 . Similarly, another ninety degree (90°) bend in the wire 5 connects each of the connectingbars cross bars FIG. 4 . - The ends of the
outermost cross bars connector bars bends riser bars riser bars feet foot riser bars bends FIG. 4 . - In the embodiment of the invention illustrated in
FIGS. 1-4 , each of thecross bars connector bars riser bar wire chair 12 may be easily formed on a conventional wire bending machine. - As may be seen most clearly in
FIG. 3 , when thechair 12 is placed over arebar 10 or other concrete reinforcing element, thecross bars feet feet support surface 14 over which concrete is to be poured to encase the rebar or concrete reinforcing element in the concrete. In the embodiment here illustrated, the connectingbars cross bar 18 at an angle a approximately thirty degrees (30°) to avertical plane 52 through thecross bar 18. And in the preferred embodiment, theriser bars horizontal cross bars cross bars - In order to accommodate the chair to differing applications, the angles α and β may vary, as well as the length of the riser bars and connector bars. For example, if a smaller rebar or concrete reinforcing wire or element is utilized, the
connector bars surface 14, the length of theriser bars - In one preferred embodiment of this invention, after formation of the
chair 12, the chair is preferably subjected to a heat treatment so as to improve and increase the formed stability of the formed chair. One suitable heat treatment involves subjecting the formed chair to a temperature of 450 to 550° F. and then cooling the chair to room temperature so as to result in its having spring-like resilient qualities. Not only does this heat treatment increase the forms or shaped stability of the chair, but it better enables the chair to grip arebar 10 inserted into thegaps cross bars - With reference now to
FIG. 5 , it will be seen that in order to attach achair 12 to arebar 10, all that is required is for thechair 12 to be moved into a position relative to therebar 10 in which the rebar is located within one of the pockets orgaps Pocket 56 is defined between cross bars 18 and 20.Pocket 58 is defined between cross bars 18 and 16. SeeFIG. 4 . Thereafter, thechair 12 may be rotated ninety degrees (90°) so as to position therebar 10 within the other of the twopockets FIG. 5 . When so positioned, thecentermost cross bar 18 is located atop therebar 10 and the other twocross bars rebar 10. Preferably, the connector bars 22 and 24 are of such a length and the angles a are such that in the course of rotating the chair ninety degrees (90°) so as to position therebar 10 within the twopockets centermost cross bar 18 so as to securely lock therebar 10 within thesepockets - With reference now to
FIG. 6 , there is illustrated another embodiment of this invention. This embodiment ofwire chair 12′ is identical to the embodiment ofFIGS. 1-5 except that the connector bars 22′ and 24′ are semicircular rather than straight bars. There are bending machines which will accommodate this configuration of wire bending without the need for ninety degree (90°) bends between the cross bars and connecting bars as in the embodiment ofFIGS. 1-5 . - In the embodiment of
FIG. 6 , there may be detents (not shown) formed in the cross bars 18, 16 and 20, respectively, so as to better enable therebar 10 supported by the chair to be locked into thepockets - With reference now to
FIG. 7 , there is illustrated another embodiment of a wire chair incorporating the invention of this application. Thischair 60 comprises a unitary wire, the center portion of which comprises a straighthorizontal bar section 62 at the opposite ends of which there are formed generallyU-shaped loops rebar 68 or similar concrete reinforcing wire or rod. Theseloops riser bar foot 74, 76. These supporting feet, 74, 76, support thechair 60 upon the surface to which concrete is to be applied after the rebar or concrete reinforcing wire orbar 68 is snap-fit into theloops chair 60. - With reference now to
FIG. 8 , there is illustrated yet another embodiment of a chair incorporating the invention of this application. Thischair 80 is very similar to thechair 60 ofFIG. 7 except that instead of the generally horizontally extendingstraight bar 62, the generallyU-shaped loops rebar 68 or concrete reinforcing wire or rod, are connected to a generally V-shapednose piece 82. The opposite ends of this V-shapednose piece 82 terminate in theloops rebar 68 is received. The lower ends of theseloops riser sections chair 80 which in turn are connected to supporting feet 92, 94. In use, the feet 92, 94 rest upon the supporting surface to which concrete is to be applied while the chair supports the rebar or concrete reinforcing rod or wire above that supporting surface. - With reference now to
FIG. 9 , there is illustrated yet another embodiment of a unitary wire chair incorporating the invention of this application. Thischair 100 comprises a generally Z-shaped supportingfoot 102 which forms the center portion of the wire chair. Riser bars 104, 106 extend upwardly from opposite ends of this Z-shaped generally supportingfoot 102. These riser bars 104, 106 terminate in generallyU-shaped loops chair 100, therebar 68 or concrete reinforcingrod wire 68 is inserted into theloops rebar 68 is snap-fit into theseloops chair 100 against movement or displacement of thechair 100 during pouring of the concrete. - It will readily be apparent to persons skilled in the art that while we have described several embodiments of our invention, other changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit of our invention. Therefore, we do not intend it to be limited except by the scope of the following appended claims.
