Abstract:
A rebar coupling sleeve is provided. The rebar coupling sleeve includes a first tubular member and a second tubular member interconnected by a reinforced spine member disposed along a common longitudinal length of each elongated tubular member. Each tubular member provides an interior space dimensioned to slidably receive a portion of rebar therein, the interior space extending between a closed end and an opposing open end, defining an entry point for a rebar. The open end of the first tubular member opposes the open end of the second tubular member such that they are positioned on opposing sides of the rebar coupling sleeve. The rebar coupling sleeve receives a pair of rebar therein via opposing ends thereof such that distal ends of two rebars are now secured in an overlapping condition relative to each other, removing any need to tie them together via traditional means.

Claim (Index 2):
The rebar coupling sleeve of  claim 1 , wherein each tubular member extends between a closed end and an open end communicating to the interior space, wherein the first open end is facing in an opposite direction as the second open end.
