Abstract: A protective device (12) for steel reinforcements (16) includes a bottom box (22) and a cover (24) which can be inserted into it. In the bottom (26) of the bottom box there are slots (32) through which parts (18) of the steel reinforcements (16) which project out of the closed protective device can be inserted. The side walls of the cover are designed as double layers and form an interspace (56) which makes it possible to weld the outer layer (54) and the side walls (28, 30) of the bottom box using tools that grip from both sides.

Abstract: The invention provides a device for housing steel reinforcement in areas where joints are made between first and subsequently poured concrete structures such that connecting portions of the steel reinforcements are isolated during pouring of the first concrete and are thereafter bent out for connecting the subsequently poured concrete structure. The device comprises a housing having an open box, a cover therefore, and anchoring strips disposed in the transverse direction of the box at intervals along its length and at the bottom thereof. The anchoring strips having transverse slots in the upper portion thereof to receive and support the connecting portions of the steel reinforcements. The cover is capable of being locked to the box and capable of passing the anchoring portions therethrough.
