Abstract:
A system for centering a reinforcing member within a drilled shaft/bore hole includes a first cage member and a second cage member. The first cage member is operable to surround a first half of the reinforcing member. The second cage member is operable to surround a second half of the reinforcing member. The second cage member is operably connected to the first cage member, and the first and second cage members have identical shapes.

Claim (Index 12):
A centralizing cage system for use in centering a reinforcing member within a drilled shaft/bore hole, the reinforcing member extending along a center axis when the cage system is in use, the centralizing cage system comprising:\n a first centralizing member having a first end and an opposing second end, each of the first and second ends of the first centralizing member having a protrusion extending inwardly toward the center axis, wherein the first centralizing member includes a neck that has a concave shape relative to the center axis and is configured that is configured to surround a first half of a diameter of a plurality of different sized reinforcing members; and a second centralizing member having a first end and a second opposing end, each of the first and second ends of the second centralizing member having a protrusion extending inwardly toward the center axis, wherein the second centralizing member includes a neck that has a concave shape relative to the center axis and is configured to surround a second half of the diameter of the each of the reinforcing members; wherein the first centralizing member and second centralizing member are shaped so that the first centralizing member and the second centralizing member surround any one of the different sized reinforcing members when the first and second centralizing members are attached; wherein the first centralizing member is a single integral member; wherein the second centralizing member is a single integral member; and wherein the second centralizing member is substantially identical to the first centralizing member.
