" J. WIDMER, OF WEBSTER GROVES, MISSOURI, ASSIGNOR TO WIDMER ENG-I- NEERING CO in? ANY, OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI, A CORPORATION OF MISSOURI.
BAR-SUPPORT.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Mar. 26, 1918.
Application filed April 10, 1917. Serial No. 160,931.
during the placing of the concrete.
The objects of the invention are to produce a strong, compact device out of sheet metal at a low cost, a device which will hold the bar securely, and will not tip over, and which can be handled pnd shipped without inconvenience or liabi ity of being damaged.
What the invention'consists in is stated in the appended claims, reference being had to the drawings forming a part of thls specification.
In the drawings, wherein the same reference characters designate the same partsin the several views,
Figure 1 is a view of a suitable strip of sheet metal, showing how it may be out for forming the device, a suitably cut blank being shown at the left of the figure;
Fig. 2 is a view. of the blank after the pressing operation, and Fig. 3 is a side view of the same;
Fig. 4 is a plan view of the finished device, after the bending operation, the dot and dash lines showing the manner of supporting a reinforcing bar; and
Figs. 5' and 6 are, respectively, a side view and an end View of the same.
The supporting device shown in the drawings is made by shearing, pressing and bending operations upon a strip of sheet metal. The strip 10 of sheet metal is cut up into blanks 11, each of which, consists in a top bridge portion 12 and two legs 13 connected to the bridge portion 12 at its ends. There is a recess 14 in the top edge of the bridge portion forming a seat for a reinforcing bar; and the bottom edge of each leg, which is wider than at the top, is scalloped to form two feet 15 spread apart, as shown at the left in Fig. 1.
. The legs are pressed to form stifiening ribs 16, and at the same time the lower portion of one leg is bent forward and the corplane of the bridge portion, so as to cause the feet to stand at right angles to the bridge portion, and splayed apart, as shown in Figs. 4, 5 and 6.
From the foregoing description it is evident that the device is exceedingly light and compact in proportion to its strength, and is not easily tipped over when in place; that it can be made by simple operations,-the only machines required for its making being simple shearing and bending presses provided with suitable dies; and furthermore, that the amount of sheet metal stock required for each device is small.
The invention is not restricted to the precise shape and dimensions of the deviice shown in the drawings.
I claim the following as my invention:
1. A pressed metal reinforcing bar sup-' port comprising a raised bridge portion having a notch for a reinforcing bar in its upper side, legs integral with said bridge portion extending downwardly therefrom and arranged at about right angles thereto, the lower ends of said legs having wide bottoms each arranged to provide supports on opposite sides of the plane of said bridge portion, whereby each leg is entirely on one side of the supported bar.
2. A pressed metal reinforcing bar support comprising a raised bridge portion having a notch for a reinforcing bar, legs integral with said bridge portion extending downwardly therefrom and arranged at about right angles thereto, ribs pressed in said legs for stiffening them, the lower ends of said legs each being provided with wide bases arranged to provide supports on opposite sides of the plane of said bridge portion, whereby each leg isentirely on one side of the supported bar.
3. A pressed metal reinforcing bar support comprising a bridge portion having a notched seat for a reinforcing bar, legs integral with said bridge portion and arranged on the lower edge thereof and at about right angles thereto, the lower ends of said legs each being spread apart and provided with spaced feet arranged on. opposite sides of the plane of said bridge portion.
4. A pressed metal reinforcing bar supportcomprising a bridge portion having a seat for a reinforcing bar, legs on the under side of and integral with said bridge portion and arranged at about right angles thereto, ribs pressed in said legs for stiffening them, thelower ends of said legs each being spread apart and provided with feet arranged to provide supports on opposite sides of the plane of said bridge portion.
reinforcing bar support comprising a sheet of metal having a body portion provided with a seat for a reinforcing bar in one side and having integral spaced extensions with outwardly opposite side,
diverging sides on the and said extensions being disposed at substantially right angles to said body portion, whereby said extensions form wide legs each of which extends on both sides of the body portion.
A support for reinforcing bars compr1s1ng a piece ofsheet metal having a seat on one side and a triangular .hole Whose apex opens through the other side, the end portions of said sheet being disposed at substantially right angles whereby legs are formed each of which extends on both sides of the plane of the seatportion.
