ABSTRACT:
A holder for use in building construction to hold anchor bolts, rebar, in-concrete plumbing, and the like elements, in predetermined positions during the pouring of concrete therearound. The holder includes an elongated base plate having front and rear ends, opposite side edges, a top surface and a bottom surface, the front end of the base plate having an end hole therethrough; a sleeve extending from the base plate over the end hole for receiving such an element; and reinforcing members projecting from the base plate and extending lengthwise and transversely of the plate. The holder preferably is molded in one piece from a suitable brightly colored plastic so that it can be more easily seen after the concrete has been poured, thereby partially covering it. The integration of the base plate, the sleeve, and the reinforcing members in one-piece and out of plastic provides a lightweight, durable, low cost holder for the purposes described. An alternative embodiment provides such a holder that can be spread apart from receiving, and then closing and clamping around, anchor bolts, rebar, in-concrete pipe, and similar construction elements.
