Definitions

  • the disclosure relates to connecting reinforcement steel bars together.
  • the Steelfixing (/ Rodman) is a semi-skilled tradesman who learns the 'tricks-of-the-trade' based on experience. In the assembly of loose concrete reinforcement steel bars for reinforced concrete structures, a number of straight and/or shaped reinforcement steel bars must be connected to each other.
  • the skill of Steelfixing is manual holding and wire manipulation, by being able to hold a hand tool in the preferred working hand, hold bars in other hand, wrap the wire around the reinforcement bar connection with finger manipulation on a horizontal or vertical plane and then tighten the wire with the other hand.
  • Standard binding wire bundles is 25 kg or 1.1 kg spools for side reels that fit onto the tradesman belt.
  • the experience is to choose from a variety of wire knots (see 1, 2 and 3) the most appropriate wire knot for the situation (see drawing A,B,D &E).
  • the application of fastening wire around the reinforcement steel bars is physically demanding can cause Repetitive Strain Injury on the wrist and the risk of musculoskeletal injury because of trunk posture.
  • Alterative manual wire fastening methods used on connecting reinforcement steel bars are sack (Bag) ties; straight wire lengths with two rings applied to the end and hand wire clips; shaped wire clips that can be applied around reinforcement steel bar connection. These alternatives fastening application are restrictive as fastening techniques based on single knot application. Alterative manual wire fastening is a two hands application, one to hold the wire material and the other to apply.
  • Jigs Aids for Steelfixers to reduce Repetitive Strain Injury on the wrist and the risk of musculoskeletal injury by assembly of reinforcement steel shaped bars in a more ergonomic work environment are jigs combined with automated wire fasteners.
  • Jigs are shaped as a mould of the concrete element with positioning clamps to hold bars at the correct distance, such specialized jig system is WO 2005/1156820 .
  • a clip for connecting steel bars 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.
  • a hook for engaging a clip is provided, 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.
  • a method for connecting two steel bars crossing each other including:
  • the disclosure relates to a process and device for mutually connecting the crossing of at least two straight or bent elongated elements, such as concrete reinforcement steel bars, whereby formed ring eared clips with extending arms are placed around at the crossing of straight or shaped bars causing extending ring ears to protrude angled above the crossing to await closure caused by twisting until the clip is tightly wrapped around crossing or the ring ears are ruptured from the clip, the variable twisting speed being performed clock or anti-clock wise by a longitudinal powered conical hook which hooks in the open state the clips two ring ears, turns and twists evenly the wire ends until tighten or ruptured.
  • a longitudinal powered conical hook which hooks in the open state the clips two ring ears, turns and twists evenly the wire ends until tighten or ruptured.
  • the disclosure is to enhance the assembly on building sites and with jigs such as WO 01/46537 and includes a process and a device for mutually connecting the crossing of at least two loose straight or bent reinforcement steel bars when positioned free standing in situation or on a jig.
  • the process can be applied with a variety of shaped wire clips to meet the different assembly application requirements.
  • Extended arms are looped to make it easier to slip clip around and/or over the cross connection, loops are twisted at such an angle so the clips rests still on the connection before being closed.
  • the loops present an easy target for the powered conical hooked tool to attach to and grip before powered rotation is applied for twisting closed the open clip.
  • Shaped Loop Clips fasten reinforcement steel bars connection from diameter 6mm to 57 mm
  • the device includes a powered conical hook that twists shaped loop clips closed through rotates in both directions; clock & anti-clock wise; able to tighten and loosen the shaped loop clip to desired tightness, by a variable degree of speeds.
  • the powered conical hook application operates in narrow and restricted areas.
  • Figures 1-5 show different type of wire knots and different types of clips preferred for fastening on the different reinforcement steel bar connections (A-D)
  • Fig. 6 shows a powered hand drill 1 with an embodiment of a hook 2 in it.
