Patent ID: 8800240

Claim:
A re-bar support useful in the construction of concrete structures, said re-bar support comprising: a main elongated hollow body; a first upper end; a second lower end; a first pair of apertures, located in an aligned position one with respect to the other at a proximal section of said first end, both of each apertures being substantially identical and each of said apertures comprising: an upper section open to the exterior of said main elongated body, said upper section having edges outwardly oriented and outwardly angled forming a pair of pointed ends and; a lower section having a semicircular shape; a second pair of apertures, located in an aligned position one with respect to the other at a distal section of said first upper end, both of each apertures of said second pair of apertures being substantially identical and perpendicularly positioned in reference to both apertures of said first pair of apertures; each of said second pair of apertures comprising: an upper section open to the exterior of said main elongated body, said upper section having a U shaped geometry wherein the lower side of said U shaped geometry is interrupted forming a pair of pointed ends; a lower section having a semicircular shape; a set of four legs; formed by the contour of the first pair of apertures and the second pair of apertures; a third pair of apertures, located in an aligned position one with respect to the other at a proximal position of said second lower end, both of each apertures being substantially identical and each of said apertures comprising: an lower section open to the exterior of said main elongated body, said lower section having edges outwardly oriented, wherein the edges of said aperture are outwardly angled forming a pair of pointed ends and; an upper section having a semicircular shape; a fourth pair of apertures, located in an aligned position one with respect to the other at a distal position of said second lower end, both of each apertures being substantially identical and being positioned perpendicularly in reference to said third pair of apertures; each one of said fourth pair of apertures comprising: an lower section open to the exterior of said main elongated body, said upper section having an inverted U shaped geometry, wherein the top side of said inverted U shaped geometry is interrupted forming a pair of pointed ends and; an upper section having a semicircular shape; a set of four legs which are formed by the contour of the third pair of apertures and the fourth pair of apertures; a hole located substantially at and passing through the center of said elongated hollow main body and; wherein the first pair of aperture is in a parallel position to the third pair of apertures; the second pair of aperture is in a parallel position to the fourth pair of apertures, each one of the legs at the first end is perpendicular positioned to another leg at the at the second end.
