Abstract
Abstract Improvement in a concrete reinforcing rod holder comprising hollow open-sided sections joined together so as to hold a pair of contacting reinforcing rods prior to pouring concrete to form a reinforced concrete structure, such improvement comprising each such section having a substantially uniform wall thickness and a cavity having inner and outer portions formed therein, the center of the inner portion of such cavity being located so as to coincide with the center of the respective reinforcing rod held therein and the center of the outer portion thereof being radially offset inwardly of that of such inner portion.
