Abstract
A facade support system can be attached to a wall of a structure to support a veneer on the wall. A bracket of the support system that can be attached to the wall includes a connecting plate and a mounting member. A support attached to the connecting plate can be disposed in a mortar bed joint of the veneer. A standoff positioned for engagement with the wall is selectively attachable to the connecting plate in different locations for maintaining a substantially horizontal position of the support. In some instances the mounting member may have detents engageable with detents on a washer. In other instances both the connecting plate and the mounting member include detents.
Claims21
A facade support system for attachment to a wall of a structure for supporting a veneer on the wall of the structure, the system comprising:
- a bracket configured for attachment to the wall, the bracket comprising a connecting plate and a mounting member;
- a support attached to the connecting plate of the bracket and configured to be disposed in a mortar bed joint of the veneer;
- and
- a standoff positioned for engagement with the wall and selectively attachable to the connecting plate in different locations on the standoff to orient the bracket relative to the wall for maintaining a substantially horizontal position of the support;
- wherein the connecting plate interconnects the support and the mounting member.
A facade support system for attachment to a wall of a structure for supporting a veneer on the wall of the structure, the system comprising:
- a bracket configured for attachment to the wall, the bracket comprising a connecting plate and a mounting member, the mounting member having first detents, the mounting member being nonadjustably fixed to the connecting plate;
- a support attached to the connecting plate of the bracket and configured to be disposed in a mortar bed joint of the veneer;
- and
- a washer attachable to the mounting member for attaching the bracket to the wall, the washer including second detents for adjustable mating with the first detents of the mounting member, whereby adjustment of the mounting member relative to the washer adjusts the position of the bracket on the wall.
A facade support system for attachment to a wall of a structure for supporting a veneer on the wall of the structure, the system comprising:
- a bracket configured for attachment to the wall, the bracket comprising a connecting plate and a mounting member, each of the connecting plate and the mounting member having first detents;
- and
- a support attached to the connecting plate of the bracket and configured to be disposed in a mortar bed joint of the veneer;
- wherein the first detents of the connecting plate each extend generally vertically and are configured to facilitate adjustment of the horizontal position of the support relative to the wall;
- and
- wherein the first detents of the mounting member each extend generally horizontally and are configured to facilitate adjustment of the vertical position of the support relative to the wall.
A facade support system for attachment to a wall of a structure for supporting a veneer on the wall of the structure, the system comprising:
- a bracket configured for attachment to the wall, the bracket comprising a connecting plate and a mounting member;
- a support attached to the connecting plate of the bracket and configured to be disposed in a mortar bed joint of the veneer;
- and
- a standoff positioned for engagement with the wall and selectively attachable to the connecting plate in different locations on the standoff to orient the bracket relative to the wall for maintaining a substantially horizontal position of the support
- wherein the connecting plate of the bracket has first detents, and the standoff has second detents for adjustably mating with the first detents, adjustment of the connecting plate on the standoff adjusting a horizontal spacing of the connecting plate from the wall.
