Abstract

See full text

A positioning device for accurately positioning a reinforcing member in a hardening material (e.g., concrete). The positioning device is made from a plastic material and includes a base and a support member extending from the base. The base includes at least one receiving member supported on the support member. The receiving member is in the form of a flexible clip or spring clip. The clips are C-shaped and include arms with an opening between the arms which leads to a holding area. Each clip is capable of receiving reinforcing members of varying sizes within the opening. The clips flex outward to accommodate a reinforcing member and subsequently return inward toward a rest mode to contact and secure the reinforcing member within the holding area. The clips may be positioned at various heights and orientations.
