052719000 | CROSSED REINFORCING RODS WITH CONNECTOR | 8 |
20080256894 | Special and improved configurations for unitized post tension block systems for masonry structures - An uniquely improved mortar less masonry structure comprising a plurality of concrete masonry units connected to each other by metal bars and metal threaded fasteners thereby forming a reinforcing skeletal system for the masonry to utilize a post tensioned structure. The unique system has been developed with full recessed channels in the masonry unit, anchor bars that fit into the channels and extend across a plurality of masonry units and bolts that act as the tendon for the post tensioning system. This is an improved, rapidly constructed building system that demountably couples each individual masonry unit by an extended bar and bolt system. This extended bar is more efficient and easier to build with as compared to other traditional masonry structures. | 10-23-2008 |
20090165421 | CLIP FOR JOINING REINFORCED MEMBERS FOR USE IN REINFORCED CONCRETE SLABS AND/OR COLUMNS - A clip for joining reinforcing members for use in reinforced concrete slabs and/or columns includes a first wire member having an upper mid-portion and pair of legs, each of the legs having a hook portion adapted to wrap around a lower surface of a first reinforcing member. A second wire member has a lower mid-portion and a handle portion, the lower mid-portion sized to seat on an upper surface of a second reinforcing member. Each end of the lower mid-portion extends outward, wrapping around an outer portion of the upper mid-portion of the first wire member at least once, and extending parallel to the second reinforcing member to form the handle portion. | 07-02-2009 |
20090188200 | CLIP AS WELL AS A METHOD AND A HOOK FOR USE IN THE METHOD FOR FASTENING REINFORCEMENT STEEL BARS - A clip for connecting steel bars, the clip having two loop shaped ends which are connected by a intermediate wire piece which is bent such that the clip can be mounted on a crossing of at least two rods and will keep its position on that rod before the clip is twisted to secure the rods together. Also disclosed is a hook for engaging such a clip, wherein the hook has a shaft that, on one end is provided with the hook element and that, on the other free end is insertable in a hand power tool such as a hand drill. Further a method for connecting at least two steel bars crossing each other is provided, the method including the use of a jig, clips and a hook with a hand powered tool. | 07-30-2009 |
20090188201 | Stud Support System for Structural Concrete - A reinforcing assembly for use in a structural concrete member, such as a slab, footing, raft foundation, beam, wall and column, has at least one reinforcing stud with an elongate stem an anchor head at one or both ends, and a support apparatus for positioning the stud in the concrete member. The apparatus has a rail and connector to mechanically secure the stem to the rail in a given spacing and orientation. The connector may be in to form of a clip member for mounting on the rail and for securing the stud thereto, or the connector may be formed integrally with the rail in the form of a recess along an edge of the rail. The rail typically positions a plurality of studs in the concrete member at a given location, direction and spacing. | 07-30-2009 |
20110162317 | CLIP FOR JOINING REINFORCED MEMBERS FOR USE IN REINFORCED CONCRETE SLABS AND/OR COLUMNS - A clip for joining reinforcing members, which includes a first pair of legs, each of the legs of the first pair of legs having a portion having a curvature thereto and adapted to wrap around a lower surface of a first reinforcing member; a second pair of legs, each of the legs of the second pair of legs having an inner surface adapted to exert a force against at least a portion of a side surface of a second reinforcing member, and a mid-portion, which connects the first pair of legs to the second pair of legs. | 07-07-2011 |
20120124933 | CLIP FOR JOINING REINFORCED MEMBERS FOR USE IN REINFORCED CONCRETE SLABS AND/OR COLUMNS - A clip for joining reinforcing members, which includes a first pair of legs, each of the legs of the first pair of legs having a portion having a curvature thereto and adapted to wrap around a lower surface of a first reinforcing member, a second pair of legs, each of the legs of the second pair of legs having an inner surface adapted to exert a force against at least a portion of a side surface of a second reinforcing member, the second reinforcing member residing perpendicular to the first reinforcing member, and a mid-portion, which connects the first pair of legs to the second pair of legs, and wherein the mid-portion is formed by crossing the first pair of legs over one another. | 05-24-2012 |
20120233959 | REINFORCEMENT SYSTEM FOR POLES - A reinforcement system made of steel members, (eg. steel reinforcing rods, threaded rods or functionally equivalent steel member), closely positioned with respect to, or positioned in contact with the exterior of straight tapered and/or pipe/stepped poles, such as wireless telecommunication poles. The method of use results in providing additional strength to the poles to enhance resistance against deflection caused by, for instance, wind forces and/or added weight resulting from mounting antennas thereto, thereby enabling the placement of, for instance, more antenna arrays and other communication antennas thereon is otherwise possible. | 09-20-2012 |
20160108619 | PREFABRICATED MODULAR REBAR MODULES AND METHODS OF USING THE SAME - There is provided a reinforcing steel structure for use in a concrete building wall. The structure includes one or more prefabricated, welded cages having vertical reinforcing bars. A plurality of continuous ties extends around the vertical reinforcing bars and a plurality of shear ties extends generally horizontally between the vertical reinforcing bars. Each welded cage is sized and shaped for shipping and said structure can be formed onsite from a plurality of said cages lapped together. Concrete is added to the reinforcing steel structure to form a concrete building wall. | 04-21-2016 |
