  • Patent number: 5600927
    Abstract: Strapped rebar end protector apparatus combines prior art end protectors with an elastic strap having a rebar-receiving aperture in one end and fastener means on the other. The preferred fastener is a snap-in type which enters relatively easily a snap-receiving aperture drilled in the end protector wall, but which is hard to pull out again. The device is installed by first threading the rebar end through the open rebar aperture of the strap and then threading the rebar end into the interior channel of the protector, where vertical support ribs in the protector interior grip the rebar. Provided that the elastic strap has been extended down the rebar a distance sufficient to place it under tension (a tab portion extends beyond the rebar aperture for grasping and pulling), the rebar end protector will remain in place against a more significant force than previously.
