English term or phrase: cover block
Hi, I'd appreciate some help with this term.

I found "separadores" but I suppose there is a more specific/technical name.

This is just an example for context:

"A cover block is essentially a spacer that is used to lift the rebar matrix off the ground so that concrete may flow underneath the rebar."

There is a photo at https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-definition-of-cover-block-...

Thanks :)

calzo, calzo separador
Explanation:
En el caso de los que tienen forma de taco, «calzo» o «calzo separador» parece más adecuado pues cumple esta función de calzar, permitiendo el paso del hormigón por debajo, frente a los separadores de mariposa o de rueda que cumplen la función, además, de separar de las otras armaduras.

En las imágenes aparecen los mismos "cover blocks" y "calzos".
