  • Patent number: 5135333
    Abstract: An apparatus and process for the placement of horizontally disposed side by side and/or vertically staggered reinforcing bands in combination with a typical slip form or form type concrete paver. The paver receives and spreads fresh concrete, continuously dispences reinforcing bands, then levels, holds, liquifies and finishes the concrete in a single pass. A plurality of inserters which dispense the bands are lined across the width of the apparatus and may be staggered inserters to enhance concrete flow around them. They are threaded with the reinforcement and move through unconsolidated concrete positioned between the leveler and the form.
