Definitions

  • Each REBOX has a plurality of lengths of steel reinforcement which project into the space where the wall is to be formed and is tied or anchored to the wall reinforcement.
  • the lengths of reinforcement also project into the interior of the REBOX and are aligned within and extend along the channel formed by the REBOX
  • the invention provides a connector for steel reinforcement, the connector having a body for securely receiving an end of a length of steel reinforcement and a head for locating over and relative to reinforcement projecting from a wall of a building.
  • the head portion is preferably configured as a hook which may locate over reinforcement located within a REBOX.
  • a retainer is carried by the hook which assists in retaining the hook on the reinforcement within the REBOX.
  • the body may include a cavity for receiving an end of a length of reinforcement.
  • the body is formed from a plurality of parts which may be secured to or held relative to one another and which collectively form the cavity mentioned above.
  • Reinforcement often has ribs or formations on its outer surface and it is preferred that the interior face of the cavity provided by the body have complementary formations for receiving the formations on the length of reinforcement.
  • the body is formed from two parts or halves which may be secured to one another to capture an end of the reinforcement between them.
  • an inner end of the cavity is enlarged relative to the remainder of the cavity in the body. This ensures that the cavity may readily be able to receive an end of a length of reinforcement even if the free end of the length is deformed. Deformation often occurs when a desired length of reinforcement is cut from a longer length of such material.
  • the connecting member may be a collar.
  • the connecting members may consist of studs projecting from one of the parts of the body and the other part of the body may have corresponding apertures for receiving the studs. Free ends of the studs may be deformed to lock the body parts to one another and may function like rivets. If desired that body part with the apertures may be provided with recesses for receiving the deformed ends of the studs.
  • FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a connector according to the embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 2 is an assembled perspective view of the connector of FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the connector of FIGS. 1 and 2 shown in situ coupled to wall reinforcement;
  • FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view of a connector according to another embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 5 is an assembled perspective view of the connector of FIG. 4 ;
  • FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a connector according to another embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 8 is a longitudinal sectional view of the connector of FIG. 7 .
  • FIG. 1 shows a connector 10 according to an embodiment of the invention.
  • the connector 10 has a body 12 , 13 with a head.
  • Part 12 of the body has connecting members 16 extending from it.
  • Part 13 of the body has apertures 17 for receiving members 16 and the members 16 may be deformed such that the parts 12 and 13 may be secured to one another.
  • the inner surface of the cavity may have complementary formations to formations the end of the length of reinforcement such that once the end is received within the cavity and the parts 12 and 13 are secured to one another, the end cannot be withdrawn from the cavity.
  • An inner end of the cavity may be of an enlarged size.
  • FIG. 2 of the drawings shows the connector 10 in its assembled state prior to deformation of the members 16 .
  • the connector 10 has a length of reinforcement 20 captured by parts 12 , 13 of the body once the parts are secured to each other when the members 16 are deformed.
  • the formations and the reinforcement 20 have not been illustrated.
  • the connector 40 of FIG. 4 has a body 41 made of two parts 42 and 43 .
  • Part 42 has locating holes 44 and part 43 has projecting pins (not visible) receivable by the holes 44 to allow the parts to be located relative to one another.
  • the parts 42 , 43 when the connector is assembled form a cavity 45 for receiving an end of a length of reinforcement.
  • the inner surface of the cavity 45 may be configured to match or mate with the outer profile of the reinforcement End 46 of the cavity is enlarged to accommodate any deformity on the end of the reinforcement
  • the body 41 has a head 50 provided with a channel 51 .
  • FIG. 5 shows the connector in its assembled condition.
  • the connector 70 has a body 71 and a head 72 .
  • the head 72 has a receiving channel 73 which gives the head a hook shaped appearance.
  • a cavity 74 extends into the body 71 and is adapted to receive an end of a length of steel reinforcement.
  • the wall of the cavity is provided with a screw threaded formation.
  • An end of the length of steel reinforcement may be formed with a corresponding thread formation and screwed into the cavity for engagement with the connector.
