Formwork to reinforcement connector and formwork systems using same
According to the invention there is provided a connector (1) for releasably securing a formwork panel (2) at a fixed distance from a reinforcement element (3). The connector includes a spacer having a first end and a second end defining a spacer depth therebetween. A first connection means is provided at the first end for releasably securing the connector to the formwork panel or an intermediate component, and a second connection means is provided at the second end for securing the connector to the reinforcement element. The first connection means comprises a panel abutment surface (7) for bearing against the formwork panel or intermediate component, and a fastener receiving region adapted to retainingly receive a releasable fastener (10) applied through an opening in the formwork panel or intermediate component when placed against the abutment surface. The invention also provides a method of constructing a reinforced concrete structure using one or more of the connectors. Fig. 1
