Mobile rebar supply system for providing unlimited lengths

Abstract

A vehicle supported system having a support frame, a support surface, a number of a coil handlers and a coil leveler, all supported upon the support surface. The coil handlers are configured to rotatably support a coil of reinforcing bar material in a manner which allows the reinforcing bar materials to be unwound and fed from the coil. The coil leveler may be configured to receive the reinforcing bar materials and to perform a straightening operation which will provide a straightened rebar material at an output of the mobile outfeed device. The system may also include a mobile cutter positioned adjacent outfeed device to cut reinforcing bar materials to a desired length when that length has been provided through the output.

1 . A mobile system for providing supply of reinforcing bar materials to a jobsite, comprising:
 a vehicle having a support frame and a support surface;   a coil handler supported by the support surface, the coil handler configured to rotatably support a coil of reinforcing bar material in a manner which allows the reinforcing bar materials to be unwound and fed from the coil;   a mobile outfeed device positioned adjacent to the coil handler, the mobile outfeed device configured to receive the reinforcing bar materials and to perform a straightening operation which will provide a straightened rebar material at an output of the mobile outfeed device; and   a mobile cutter positioned adjacent outfeed device to cut reinforcing bar materials to a desired length when that length has been provided through the output.   
     
     
         2 . The mobile system of  claim 1  wherein the outfeed device and the mobile cutter are rotatably supported upon the vehicle support surface to provide for selective alignment. 
     
     
         3 . The mobile system of  claim 1  further comprising a bending device positioned adjacent the cutter and configured to bend the desired length of reinforcing bar materials into a predetermined configuration. 
     
     
         4 . The mobile system of  claim 3  wherein the outfeed device, the mobile cutter and the bending device are rotatably supported upon a turntable which is positioned upon the vehicle support surface. 
     
     
         5 . A mobile rebar delivery system, comprising:
 a mobile framework having a support surface;   a turntable supported by the support surface;   a plurality of spools configured to support a coil of rebar material, wherein at least one of the plurality of spools is supported on the turntable; and   a coil leveler movably supported upon the turntable, the coil leveler having an input positioned adjacent the at least one of the plurality of spools configured to receive rebar material from the coil, the coil leveler further configured to perform a straightening process and provide straightened rebar material at a leveler output;   wherein the turntable is rotatable so that the coil leveler output is positionable at a transport orientation and a plurality of delivery orientations.   
     
     
         6 . The mobile rebar delivery system of  claim 5  wherein the turntable supports two spools. 
     
     
         7 . The mobile rebar delivery system of  claim 5  wherein the mobile framework is part of a flatbed trailer. 
     
     
         8 . The mobile rebar delivery system of  claim 5  wherein the mobile framework is part of a flatbed truck. 
     
     
         9 . The mobile rebar delivery system of  claim 5  further comprising a bending tool mounted to the support surface. 
     
     
         10 . The mobile rebar delivery system of  claim 5  wherein the mobile framework comprised a support platform movable by a loader which can be placed upon a trailer or a flatbed truck for transport to a jobsite. 
     
     
         11 . The mobile rebar delivery system of  claim 5  wherein the plurality of spools are all supported on the turntable.
