Tie hoop untying prevention device
A tie hoop untying prevention device of the present invention may comprise: a body part provided in a shape of surrounding the outer side surface and the upper and lower surfaces of a tie hoop and coupled to the tie hoop; a pair of extension parts provided at opposite ends of the body part, respectively, and formed in directions different from each other; separation preventing parts provided on both side surfaces of the body part, respectively, to prevent separation of the tie hoop; and a tying part provided at each of the corners of the body part to prevent vertical and outward movements of the tie hoop when being coupled to the tie hoop.
Apparatus to position reinforcing bars and prevent injury
Disclosed is an apparatus to reduce the amount of time required to assemble an array of construction reinforcing bars wherein a consistent gap is present between the reinforcing bars and the height of the exposed end of the reinforcing bars is substantially identical while simultaneously covering the exposed ends of the reinforcing bars to prevent injuries to nearby individuals that may come into contact with the exposed ends of the reinforcing bars.
Adjustable rebar positioning device
A rebar positioning device with opposite ends for positioning adjacent to a form face of at least one form panel may include a support rod having opposite ends and an outer surface, with at least a portion of the outer surface being threaded. At least one bar clip may be movably mounted on the support rod. An orientation of the at least one bar clip on the support rod is adjustable, and a position of the at least one bar clip on the support rod is adjustable.
Buckling resistant spring clad bar
The present invention relates to a buckling resistant spring clad bar (BRSCB) to improve lateral confinement of compression system uniformly so as to enable it to (a). applied loads withstand both compression and tension (b). ability to withstand much higher axial compression loads (c). significant improvement in post-elastic behavior due to enhanced ductility without strength degradation. The BRSCB comprises a plurality of bar, a plurality of one-way spring in an embodiment, a plurality of grips, and a plurality of peripheral ties. The system further comprises a plurality of opposing spring in another embodiment. In the opposing spring, one of the springs is wrapped in a clockwise direction and another one in an anticlockwise direction. Both the ends of the bar are covered with the end grip to hold the assembly firmly and to avoid end slippage of the one-way/opposing spring. The multiple bars wrapped with the spring are connected together with the peripheral ties to form desired cage assembly. The cage assembly can be embedded in the concrete structure/suitable medium. Further, spring cladded bars can be housed in sleeve to improve the ductility and impact/shock resistance of the structure.
REINFORCEMENT STEEL
A reinforcement steel bar includes a shaft part extending in a front-back direction, and a head part formed by forging an end portion of the shaft part. A width in a right-left direction of an upper end portion of the head part is formed wider than a diameter of the shaft part. The width in the right-left direction of a lower end portion of the head part is formed narrower than the diameter of the shaft part. An upper end surface extending parallel to an axial direction of the shaft part is formed at the upper end portion of the head part. A left side surface and a right side surface of the head part are inclined such that the width in the right-left direction of the head part is gradually reduced from the upper end portion to the lower end portion of the head part.
REINFORCEMENT STEEL
A reinforcement steel bar includes a shaft part and a head part formed by forging an end portion of the shaft part. A front end surface with its normal direction aligned with an axial direction of the shaft part is formed at a front end portion of the head part. A base end portion of the head part projects from the shaft part in a radial direction of the shaft part. A plate-shaped flange portion is formed at an outer peripheral part of the base end portion of the head part.
Protective pole cap
An example embodiment of the present invention provides a pole cap for covering an end of a pole. The pole cap comprises a sheet that includes a central portion, a first strip, and a flap that has a slit. The central portion is configured to cover a base surface of an end of a pole. The first strip is configured to fold over an edge of the base surface and circumferentially wrap around a portion of a curved surface of the pole. The flap is configured to fold over the edge of the base surface.
PIN CAP
A stamped pin cap and method of manufacturing the same. There is a frame coupling together a mount, a stop flange and a cradle. The mount couples to a reinforced bar (rebar) as used in construction and the cradle receives a construction pipe, thereby coupling the construction pipe to the rebar. The cradle, in cooperation with the stop flange may mount to lumber. The stamped pin cap requires no welding or expensive molded materials and thereby may be produced cheaply and quickly.
REBAR CAP
A removable cap for the exposed end of a reinforcing bar, including: a body including: at least one wall and an end, the at least one wall and the end defining a cavity having an opening; and at least one flap pivotably attached to the at least one wall at or near the opening.
Secured Steel Reinforcing Bar ("Rebar") Safety Cap
A safety cap for steel reinforcing bar (rebar) has an outer body with an enlarged cap and an elongated stem extending from the cap. A hole in the stem enables the safety cap to fit over the exposed end of a section of rebar. A metal insert, molded within the safety cap, prevents the rebar from punching through the safety cap if a worker were to fall onto the safety cap. The safety cap is retained on the end of the rebar so that it cannot be easily knocked off, by a pair of threaded set screws, or by a magnet positioned within the safety cap over the end of the rebar.
