Abstract

The described Multi-Diameter Rebar Brace with Vertical Rebar Positioner is comprised of a first and a second downward and diagonally extending legs. Said legs are each comprised of a first and second end. Said first ends of said legs are further comprised of a rebar retention means, which secures the brace to previously formed horizontally spanning rebar. The second ends of said legs join at a common connection point, wherein said legs form an inverted "V" shape. At said common connection point said brace is further comprised of a central vertically extending member comprised of a first end at said common connection point and a second end comprising an upper horizontal rebar securing means, which functions to secure an upper central horizontal span of rebar above a formed footing to be integrated into the wall formation phase. Said vertically extending member is further comprised of a vertical rebar securing means.

Abstract

The described concrete form brace with multi-depth rebar positioning is comprised of opposing attachment members, which secure the brace to the concrete form elements. The attachment members have a first top end, and a second bottom end. The corresponding bottom ends of the attachment members are connected by a spanning element, which spans the width of the concrete form. The attachment members and spanning element are further connected by a plurality of reinforcing struts. Rebar attachment means at multiple vertical depths within the concrete form are integrated or connected to the reinforcing struts to provide rebar securement means at multiple depths within the poured concrete. Embodiments also feature vertical spacing between horizontally placed rebar to accommodate "L" shaped vertical rebar placement for applications where vertical rebar is specified.
