Abstract

A support shoe for a concrete pillar has a base plate and two lateral plates arranged at lateral edges of the base plate and projecting upwardly at a right angle from the base plate. At least one reinforcement bar is connected to the support shoe for introducing forces into the concrete pillar. The two lateral edges and thus also the lateral plates connected thereto are arranged at an acute angle relative to one another, wherein the two lateral plates are formed as separate components connected to the base plate.

Claims (30)

1. A support shoe for concrete pillars, the support shoe comprising:

a base plate having lateral edges;

two lateral plates arranged at the lateral edges of the base plate so as to project approximately at a right angle upwardly from the base plate without projecting downwardly past the base plate;

at least one rebar that is connected to the support shoe and is adapted to introduce forces into a concrete pillar;

wherein the two lateral edges are arranged at an acute angle relative to one another and the lateral plates are arranged at an acute angle to one another;

wherein the two lateral plates are separate sheet metal components welded to the lateral edges of the base plate;

wherein the two lateral plates each have a rear vertical edge, wherein the rear vertical edges face one another and have a spacing relative to one another;

wherein the base plate has a rear transverse edge extending between rear ends of the lateral edges in the area of the vertical edges of the lateral plates;

a fixation element provided on the rear transverse edge, wherein the fixation element is a rebar that is bent upwardly out of a plane of the base plate.

2. A support shoe for concrete pillars, the support shoe comprising:

a base plate having lateral edges;

two lateral plates arranged at the lateral edges of the base plate so as to project approximately at a right angle upwardly from the base plate;

at least one rebar that is connected to the support shoe and is adapted to introduce forces into a concrete pillar;

wherein the two lateral edges are arranged at an acute angle relative to one another and the lateral plates are arranged at an acute angle to one another;

wherein the two lateral plates are separate sheet metal components welded to the lateral edges of the base plate;

wherein the base plate has a rear transverse edge extending between rear ends of the lateral edges in the area of vertical edges of the lateral plates;

a fixation element provided on the rear transverse edge, wherein the fixation element is a rebar that is bent upwardly out of a plane of the base plate.

3. The support shoe according to claim 2 , wherein the base plate has a shape of an irregular polygon.

4. The support shoe according to claim 2 , wherein the base plate has a front end and two corner edges located at the front end of the base plate, wherein the two corner edges are positioned at an angle to one another.

5. The support shoe according to claim 2 , wherein the two corner edges are positioned at a right angle to one another.

6. The support shoe according to claim 5 , wherein the base plate has a front edge extending between the two corner edges.

7. The support shoe according to claim 5 , wherein the two lateral plates each have a front vertical edge and the front vertical edges are spaced apart from one another, wherein the two corner edges adjoin the front vertical edges of the lateral plates.

8. The support shoe according to claim 7 , wherein the front vertical edges extend from the base plate at a slant in a direction toward the rear of the base plate.

9. The support shoe according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one rebar is welded to the support shoe.

10. The support shoe according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one rebar is connected by screwing to the support shoe.

11. The support shoe according to claim 2 , wherein at least one of the two lateral plates has a longitudinal slot in which the at least one rebar is secured.

12. The support shoe according to claim 2 , further comprising a transverse plate connecting upper ends of the two lateral plates, wherein the at least one rebar is secured to the transverse plate.

13. The support shoe according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one rebar is welded to an outer side of the two lateral plates, respectively.

14. The support shoe according to claim 2 , wherein the acute angle between the two lateral edges of the base plate is in the range between inclusive 30° and 75°.

15. The support shoe according to claim 14 , wherein the acute angle is approximately 45°.
