Patent ID: 10246878

Abstract:
Stackable wall spacer adapted for automated distribution using a feeder device and adapted to support a reinforcement grid, where the wall spacer comprises a plurality of leg sections each having a lower foot adapted to be placed on a mold surface for the concrete, where a plurality of wall spacers can be stacked in each other with the feet of one wall spacer extending into corresponding voids of a subsequent wall spacer, where the side wall of a leg section is parallel with the side wall of a leg section of a subsequent wall spacer. The advantage of the invention is that the wall spacers can be stacked in a space saving manner in each other, which allows a cost-efficient storage and transportation of wall spacers. The invention further allows for wall spacers that can be distributed by using a hand-held or automatic feeder device. Further, a reinforcement grid can be supported by a wall spacer regardless of the position of the spacer.
