1. A concrete reinforcing bar support comprising:
- a base having a generally planar surface with a length dimension and a width dimension;
a support structure extending upwardly from said base, said support structure having a channel formed in an upper surface thereof, said channel extending in a direction and having a size suitable for receiving a first rebar therein, said channel having a first end extending outwardly beyond one side of said support structure, said channel having a second end extending outwardly beyond an opposite side of said support structure, said channel having a length dimension from said first end to said second end that is less than said length dimension of said base;
a first clamping structure affixed to said support structure on one side of said channel, said first clamping structure having an interior surface suitable for receiving a second rebar therein extending in a direction transverse to the first rebar; and
a second clamping structure affixed to said support structure on an opposite side of said channel, said second clamping structure having an interior surface suitable for receiving the second rebar therein, said second clamping structure being in spaced relationship to said first clamping structure, each of said first and second clamping structures comprising;
a first C-shaped member extending flexibly upwardly from said support structure; and
a second C-shaped member longitudinally offset from said first C-shaped member along said support structure and extending flexibly upwardly from said support structure, said first and second C-shaped members facing in opposite directions, said first C-shaped member of said first clamping structure located between said second C-shaped member and one side of said channel.

Abstract
A concrete reinforcing bar support has a base, a support structure extending upwardly from the base and having a channel formed in an upper surface thereof, a first clamping structure affixed to the support structure on one side of the channel and a second clamping structure affixed to the support structure on an opposite side of the channel. The base is a generally planar surface. The channel has a length dimension that is less than a length dimension of the base. The support structure has first and second side panels extending vertically upwardly from the base to a bottom of the first and second clamping structures.
