Abstract
Abstract A method of applying a metal sleeve to a concrete reinforcing bar by introducing between opposed surfaces of the sleeve and the bar, particles having a hardness greater than that of the bar and the sleeve and then compressing the sleeve on to the bar with a sufficient force to cause the particles to bite into and grip both the bar and the sleeve. The metal sleeve may be provided as having on its internal surface particles of the foregoing properties. The swaged connection is achieved by carrying out the foregoing method. The invention also contemplates a concrete reinforcing bar with the swaged connection.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
148 words
A method of applying a metal sleeve to a concrete reinforcing bar, said bar being formed of hot worked or cold worked steel, comprising providing between opposed surfaces of the sleeve and the bar, particles having a hardness greater than that of both the bar and the sleeve, and then compressing the sleeve on to the bar with sufficient force to cause the particles to bite into and grip both the bar and the sleeve, the ratio of the length of the sleeve to the diameter of the bar is in the case of a hot worked reinforcing bar about 1.6 for a 25 mm diameter bar and 2.6 for a 32 mm diameter bar, and in the case of a cold worked reinforcing bar, about 2.2 for a 16 mm diameter bar, 2.3 for a 20 mm diameter bar and 1.6 for a 25 mm diameter bar.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
148 words
A method of applying a metal sleeve to a concrete reinforcing bar, said bar being formed of hot worked or cold worked steel, comprising providing between opposed surfaces of the sleeve and the bar, particles having a hardness greater than that of both the bar and the sleeve, and then compressing the sleeve on to the bar with sufficient force to cause the particles to bite into and grip both the bar and the sleeve, the ratio of the length of the sleeve to the diameter of the bar is in the case of a hot worked reinforcing bar about 1.6 for a 25 mm diameter bar and 2.6 for a 32 mm diameter bar, and in the case of a cold worked reinforcing bar, about 2.2 for a 16 mm diameter bar, 2.3 for a 20 mm diameter bar and 1.6 for a 25 mm diameter bar.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
119 words
A method of applying a metal sleeve to a concrete reinforcing bar, said bar being formed of hot worked or cold worked steel, said cold worked steel bar being a square twisted chamfered bar, said method comprising providing between opposed surfaces of the sleeve and the bar, particles having a hardness greater than that of both the bar and the sleeve, and then compressing the sleeve on to the bar with sufficient force to cause the particles to bit into and grip both the bar and the sleeve, the ratio of the length of sleeve to the diameter of the bar is about 2 for a 20 mm diameter bar and about 1.6 for a 25 mm diameter bar.
