Self-Locking Rebar Coupler
The present invention relates to a novel form of self-locking mechanical rebar coupler which is able to easily couple neighboring rebars by way of an inserting plug welded to one side of the rebar, which penetrates a receiving socket which is welded to another piece of rebar. It is then locked into place by a spring-loaded dowel which penetrates the inserting plug when the inserting plug pushes down a cap at the bottom of the receiving socket which had been holding the spring-loaded dowel in place. The purpose of this coupler is to transfer a load against tensile force and compression force in a stable manner by coupling two separate pieces of rebar and locking them into place. Various diameters of rebar can be used in this self-locking mechanical rebar coupler. The assembly by providing a self-locking rebar coupling, is aimed to reduce the size of rebar components which can be combined together on a construction site and improve construction speed.
