US Patent 11352791 Rebar cover

A rebar cover includes a shaft having a first end and a bottom end with a central bore therethrough. A bar tie is extended into the central bore through one or more openings in a sidewall of the shaft. When inserted into the central bore, a looped portion of the bar tie may loop around the rebar. The bar tie includes a ratcheting mechanism to secure the rebar to the rebar cover. The ratcheting mechanism includes a release lever to place the ratcheting mechanism in an open position, thereby allowing the bar tie to be loosened and the rebar cover removed from the rebar.
