Abstract:
Fasteners for securing reinforcing structures, such as rebar, to road beds prior to laying the road material, such as concrete or asphalt. The fasteners are particularly suited for use when a geotextile fabric, or other underlayment, is present between the reinforcing structure and the road bed. The fasteners have at least one leg having an end and an opposite end, such as a self-centering end or a radiused end. In use, a fastener is positioned over a reinforcing structure with the leg(s) extending alongside the reinforcing structure and the radiused end extending over the structure. Applying force (e.g., percussive force) to the end, such as by pounding or hammering, will drive the fastener through the fabric and fasten the reinforcing structure to the fabric.

Claim (Index 10):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the fastener comprises two planar legs each having a point at the first end.
