Abstract:
1. A rebar sleeve device comprising: a single tubular unit with an opening at least one end thereof for receipt of a rebar dowel; a base unit configured for placement directly on the ground in a concrete bed, wherein the base unit supports the tubular unit; and a front extension component, comprising: wherein the tubular unit is elevated and positioned horizontally by the front extension component secured to the base unit, wherein the tubular unit is attached to the front extension component, aligned with the opening in the front extension component and extends from the front extension component in only one direction; wherein the protective covering is scored and bends inward to accommodate insertion of said rebar dowel that would extend through the opening in said front extension component and into the tubular unit; further wherein the protective covering prevents concrete from filling in the opening in said front extension during pouring of the concrete such that the rebar dowel can be inserted through said opening in said front extension after the concrete form has been removed from the flange; and wherein the rebar sleeve device is self-supporting whereby the tubular unit is supported by the front extension component secured to the base unit when the rebar sleeve device is placed in the concrete bed.
