DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS

(12) Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. A detailed description of known technologies related to the present invention will be omitted to avoid making the technical essence of the present invention rather unclear.

(13) Because the conventional tie hoops is individually coupled to the main reinforcement, operation time is long and construction efficiency is very low, and the present invention is made to solve the problems through a V-shaped tie hoop assembly.

(14) The V-shaped tie hoop assembly according to the present invention, as illustrated in FIG. 1, a plurality of V-shaped tie hoops 100, each of which has a bending part 110 at the center thereof and anchor parts 120 extending to opposite sides of the bending part 110, and disposed at different heights at an interval, and a vertical support bar 200 connecting all of the V-shaped tie hoops 100 to integrally couple the V-shaped tie hoops.

(15) The present invention, as illustrated in FIG. 2, is a technology that is applied to sites at which a vertical main reinforcement 1 and a hoop reinforcement 2 that surrounds an outer circumference of the main reinforcement 1 for the purpose of an auxiliary tie hoop. That is, according to the present invention, because the plurality of V-shaped tie hoops 100 are integrally coupled to the support bar 200 formed vertically, several V-shaped tie hoops 100 may be installed in one main reinforcement 1 at the same time as illustrated in FIG. 2 or FIG. 3, and thus construction performance can be remarkably increased as compared with the conventional technology.

(16) Various materials may be applied to the support bar 200 as a medium for connecting the V-shaped tie hoops 100, but it is preferable that the support part 200 is formed of a metallic material in consideration of a coupling force between the elements and the durability. Further, a method for integrally coupling the V-shaped tie hoops to the support bar 200 may be performed by a separate coupling unit (not illustrated), and may be performed through a bonding scheme such as welding. if the coupling unit is configured to move inside the support bar 200, the locations of the V-shaped tie hoops 100 may be immediately adjusted in the field to be used.

(17) Further, the support bar 200 has to be coupled to the outsides of the bending parts 110 of the V-shaped tie hoops 100. This is because an interference problem occurs when the main reinforcement 1 and the hoop reinforcement 2 are coupled to each other and thus construction quality may be deteriorate when the support bar 200 is coupled to the inside of the bending parts 110.

(18) Further, it is preferable that three or six V-shaped tie hoops 100 are coupled to the support bar 200, but of course, the number of the V-shaped tie hoops 100 may be more than six, and the fixing intervals of the V-shaped tie hoops 100 also may be not only equal but also unequal.

(19) FIGS. 4(A)-4(D) illustrates an embodiment according the shapes of the V-shaped tie hoops 100 and the number of the support bars 200 of the present invention, and the shapes of the V-shaped tie hoops 100 is not limited and may be freely modified to various forms. Further, a plurality of support bars 200 are provided, a firmer coupling structure may be achieved.

(20) In the support part 200 of the present invention, as illustrated in FIG. 5, outwardly curved portions 210 and inwardly curved portions 220 may be repeatedly formed like a waveform structure. In this configuration, as illustrated in the drawings, the V-shaped tie hoops may be coupled to the outwardly curved portions 210 to be stably attached to the hoop reinforcement 2, and the inwardly curved portions 220 may be attached to the main reinforcement 1. Then, the inwardly curved portions 220 may be additionally fixed through a fastening wire 230 if necessary, such that a coupling forced can be further increased.

(21) FIG. 6 illustrates another embodiment in which an inverse U-shaped hoop part 240 is further formed in the support bar 200 of the present invention, in which the hoop part 240 is formed at a location that is adjacent to a portion thereof, to which the V-shaped tie hoop 100 is coupled, and may be stably held on at an upper portion of the hoop reinforcement 2 to increase construction convenience and may function as a handle in a construction process as a finger may be inserted into the hoop part 240. Further, because the hoop part 240 supports the inner and outer sides of the hoop reinforcement 2, rotation of the V-shaped tie hoops 100 can be prevented. The hoop part 240 may be formed at one point, but it is preferable that it is formed at upper and lower points to obtain a stable holding effect.

(22) The present invention, as illustrated in FIGS. 8 and 9, may further include a fixing clip 300 that is coupled to the V-shaped tie hoop 100 to increase a coupling force with the main reinforcement 1 located inside the bending part 110. The fixing clip 300, as illustrated in FIG. 8, is a configuration that is coupled to a side that is opposite to a portion of the V-shaped tie hoop 100, which is surrounded by the bending part 110, with respect to the main reinforcement 1, and prevents the V-shaped hoop 100 from deviating to the outside.

(23) The configuration of the fixing clip 300, as illustrated in FIG. 10, includes: an arc-shaped support part 310 bent in an arc shape such that the anchor parts 120 of the V-shaped tie hoops 100 are seated on opposite sides of the inner side thereof; an insertion guide part 320 formed at a lower portion of the arc-shaped support part 310 to be widened such that the V-shaped tie hoop 100 is inserted, and having a width that is smaller than the interval of the arc-shaped support parts 310; and an elastic operation part 330 formed at the center of an upper portion of the arc-shaped support part 310 to be bent so as to be elastically deformed to opposite sides.

(24) The arc-shaped support part 310 is a configuration of supporting the outsides of the opposite anchor parts 120 of the V-shaped tie hoops 100 while surrounding the anchor parts 120, and the opposite arc-shaped support parts 310 are strongly attached by the elasticity of the fixing clip 300 by making the interval between the opposite arc-shaped support part 310 the same as or narrower than the interval between the anchor parts 120 at the coupling portions.

(25) Further, the V-shaped tie hoop is inserted by forming the insertion guide part 320 at an upper portion of the arc-shaped support part 310 in an opened form, and the interval between the insertion guide parts 320 are formed to have a width that is smaller than the interval between the arc-shaped support parts 310 to prevent deviation of the insertion guide parts 320 when the insertion guide parts 320 are seated on the arc-shaped support parts 310. Further, a coupling guide can be stably made by forming a curved portion at a lower end portion of the insertion guide part 320 to be curved outwards.

(26) The elastic operation part 330 is a configuration that is formed between the opposite arc-shaped support parts 310 and is capable of accommodating a width, by which the interval between the arc-shaped support parts 310 may be changed, and the restoring tensions of the arc-shaped support part 310 can maintain a strong coupling force while facilitating coupling by allowing elastic deformation of the arc-shaped support parts 310 as the elastic operation parts 330 are present.

(27) In addition, because the elastic operation part 330 also functions as a handle, the elastic operation part 330 may be conveniently coupled while being pressed by a hand when the fixing clip 300 is coupled while being pressed from the upper side of the V-shaped tie hoop 100. The elastic operation part 330 may be realized while being bent by 90 degrees to further facilitate a pressing operation.

(28) Further, the present invention, as illustrated in FIGS. 11 to 12, a rotation preventing member 400 may be coupled to the V-shaped time hoop 100 to prevent the V-shaped tie hoop 100 from rotating leftwards and rightwards. The rotation preventing member 400 includes a rotation support 410 including a horizontal support part 411 extending horizontally over the V-shaped tie hoop 100 and a leg part 412 bent downwardly from opposite ends of the horizontal support part 411, and a C-shaped fixing clip 420 that is coupled to the V-shaped tie hoop 100 while the rotation support part 410 extends to fix the rotation support 410.

(29) Although the embodiments have been described to described the present invention, various modifications may be made without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention.
