Abstract
A wall anchor for use in a cavity space to connect to a veneer tie that joins an inner wythe and an outer wythe of the cavity space. In one embodiment, the wall anchor system for use in a cavity space to connect to a veneer tie that joins an inner wythe and an outer wythe of the cavity space is disclosed. The wall anchor includes a straight elongated shaft with a longitudinal axis. The wall anchor also includes a first receiving space defined by a first curved section and a second receiving space defined by a second curved section that are both in the cavity space upon installation. A first end of the wall anchor fusibly attaches to the single location at an outward facing side of the wire element.
Claims20
An anchor system for use in a cavity space to connect to a veneer tie that joins an inner wythe and an outer wythe of the cavity space, the wall anchor system comprising:
- a wire joint reinforcement configured to be disposed in the inner wythe, the wire joint reinforcement comprising at least a wire element that spans at least a portion of the inner wythe;
- a wall anchor attached to the wire joint reinforcement at a single location on the wire element outward relative to the cavity space, said wall anchor comprising a single and continuous wire element, wherein the continuous wire element comprises:
- at most one elongated shaft having a longitudinal axis, a first end and a second end, where the first end of the elongated shaft fusibly attaches to the single location on the wire element;
- a first receiving space disposed in the cavity space upon installation and defined by a first curved section at the second end of said at most one elongated shaft, where the first receiving space is positioned on a first side of the longitudinal axis of said at most one elongated shaft;
- a second receiving space disposed in the cavity space upon installation defined by a second curved section at the second end of said at most one elongated shaft, where the second receiving space is positioned on a second side of the longitudinal axis of said at most one elongated shaft;
- and
- where the first curved section and second curved section forms a continuous path with the at most one elongated shaft.

- and,
- a second receiving space disposed in the cavity space upon installation defined by a second curved section at the second end of the said at most one elongated shaft, where the second receiving space is positioned on a second side of the longitudinal axis of said at most one elongated shaft;
- and,
- where the first curved section and second curved section extend along a single plane and where the first curved section is in connection with the second curved section;
- and
- where the first curved section and second curved section forms a continuous path with the at most one elongated shaft.
