ABSTRACT:
An end protector for a reinforcing bar has a one piece support and a cushion. The support has a cylindrically-shaped receptacle with two arms extending outwardly therefrom and two longitudinal slots that are generally opposed to one another along either side of the receptacle. The arms hold the cushion in position on a side of said receptacle opposite to the reinforcing bar. When an external force is exerted on the cushion, at least part of the force is transferred through said arms to said receptacle, thereby causing the slots to narrow and the receptacle to further tighten onto said rebar. When the external force is removed, the support returns to its initial position. Thus, when no external force is exerted onto the protector, it can be easily installed or removed from an end of the reinforcing bar.
