Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to structural reinforcement systems, such as for concrete structures, and particularly to reinforcement bar boxes with bendable reinforcement bars closed by a cover.
  • a typical reinforcement system generally includes a reinforcement bar box with bendable reinforcement bars closed by a cover.
  • One non-bent portion of the reinforcement bars may be placed in a first structure, e.g., a wall, and the other portion, which is stored in a bent position inside the box, may be exposed by removing the cover, and then may be re-bent for insertion into another structure, such as a floor.
  • Reinforcement bar boxes are manufactured and commercially available from many manufacturers.
  • the company PLAKABETON manufactures a reinforcement bar box under the trademark STABOX.
  • STABOX This is a box in which reinforcement bars with diameters from 6 to 12 mm are bent inside a casing.
  • the casing is made of a shaped rough steel plate, and the bent reinforcement bars are aligned at a determined distance.
  • a cover closes the entire length of the casing.
  • the STABOX may be fixed to a structure or formwork of the first phase of concreting by simple nails (for wooden panels) or magnetized strips (for metallic formwork). The cover is removed and discarded after removing the formwork and the reinforcement bars are re-bent out to ensure the continuity of the two phases of concreting.
  • the casing has a dovetail profile.
  • the surface of the STABOX is corrugated and is covered with diamond point holes.
  • the cover is made of simple sheet metal.
  • H.B.T Another well known reinforcement bar box is made by HALFEN Reinforcement Systems (Halfen-Deha Company), and is marketed under the trademark H.B.T.
  • This system comprises pre-bent reinforcement bars housed in a purpose-designed carrier casing.
  • the cover is made of simple sheet metal.
  • a problem associate with prior art reinforcement bar boxes is that since they are not hermetically sealed, upon placement in the concrete structure, concrete or cement or other building materials tend to seep into the reinforcement bar box. The concrete or cement dries on the pre-bent reinforcement bars and seeps into the box, thereby effectively sealing the cover shut. This makes it difficult to remove the cover to gain access to the bars and to remove dry concrete from the reinforcement bars. Sometimes pneumatic tools must be used to remove the cover, involving very costly manual labor to clean the reinforcement bars before proceeding with casting the concrete structure. This may jeopardize the structural integrity of the joint or structure.
  • the present invention seeks to provide a novel reinforcement bar box, which may have a cover that absorbs moisture, as is described more in detail hereinbelow.
  • the moisture absorbing cover has prevented concrete or cement from sticking or caking inside the box, with the result that the reinforcement bars are kept clean and readily bendable. Synergistically, the moisture absorbing cover is extremely easily removed, either by peeling away or by ripping.
  • a reinforcement bar box including a plurality of reinforcement bars aligned at spaced intervals along a plate, and a cover that covers a portion of the reinforcement bars, the cover including a moisture absorbing material.
  • the moisture absorbing material may have sufficient moisture absorbing capability so as to prevent concrete or cement from sticking to the reinforcement bars inside the reinforcement bar box.
  • the cover covers an initially bent portion of the reinforcement bars.
  • the cover may include an inner layer of moisture absorbing material and an outer layer of non-absorbent material. Additionally or alternatively, the cover may include a foldable casing.
  • the foldable casing may be foldable about score lines, and may include tabs insertable into slots.
  • the reinforcement bars may have a first portion protruding from a first face of the plate and a second portion protruding from a second face of the plate.
  • the reinforcement bars may be U-shaped, wherein the first portion includes a closed, non-bent portion of the U-shaped bar and the second portion includes legs of the U-shaped bar.
  • FIG. 1 is a simplified pictorial illustration of a reinforcement bar box, constructed and operative in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention
  • FIG. 2 is a simplified sectional illustration of a cover of the reinforcement bar box of FIG. 1 , constructed and operative in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, taken along lines II-II in FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 3 is a simplified illustration of the cover constructed as a foldable casing, in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a reinforcement bar box 10 , constructed and operative in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
  • Reinforcement bar box 10 may include a plate 12 formed with holes 13 through which a plurality of reinforcement bars 14 are aligned at spaced intervals.
  • plate 12 may be constructed of a shaped rough steel plate (e.g., corrugated and covered with diamond point holes). Plate 12 may have any size or shape, such as but not limited to, a dovetail profile.
  • bars 14 may be constructed of any suitable reinforcement material, such as iron or steel alloy. Bars 14 may have a first portion 16 protruding from a first face 18 of plate 12 and a second portion 20 protruding from a second face 22 of plate 12 . In the illustrated embodiment, bars 14 are U-shaped with the first portion 16 comprising the closed, non-bent portion of the U-shaped bar and the second portion 20 comprising the bent portion, which are the legs of the U-shaped bar. The invention, however, is not limited to U-shaped bars and other shapes may be used to carry out the invention.
  • the second portion 20 is bent and second face 22 is closed with a cover 24 (shown partially removed in FIG. 1 ).
  • the first portion 16 of reinforcement bars 14 may be placed in a first structure 26 , e.g., a wall.
  • the second portion 20 may be exposed by removing cover 24 , bent or straightened in the direction of arrow 28 , and then may be inserted into another structure 30 , e.g., a floor or wall 90° to the first structure 26 .
  • cover 24 may include a moisture absorbing material 32 , such as but not limited to, moisture absorbent paper, fibers, cloth, or any other synthetic or natural material with moisture absorbing properties.
  • cover 24 may comprise an inner layer 34 of moisture absorbing material 32 , with an outer layer or backing 36 of non-absorbent material, such as but not limited to, water-resistant or non-absorbent paper, cardboard, metal or plastic, for example.
  • the moisture absorbing material 32 may have sufficient moisture absorbing capability such that it prevents concrete or cement from sticking or caking to bars 14 inside reinforcement bar box 10 .
  • cover 24 may comprise a foldable casing 38 .
  • the foldable casing 38 may be folded about score lines 40 , and tabs 42 may be inserted into slots 44 to form cover 24 .
  • part of the casing 38 (which after folding faces the inner part of reinforcement box) may be made of moisture absorbing material (e.g., moisture absorbing cardboard), whereas the other part of the casing 38 (which after folding faces the inner part of reinforcement box) may be made of non-absorbent material (e.g., non-absorbent cardboard).
  • moisture absorbing material 32 may be placed inside the folded casing 38 .
