Lintel support, masonry support kit, and lintel support method

A masonry support kit comprising:

• at least two lintel supports, wherein each of said at least two lintel supports comprises:
• a flat body with a top, a bottom, a height extending between said top and said bottom, and a claw side and a non-claw side, wherein said bottom comprises a bracket width;
• at least one claw extending perpendicularly from said top of said claw side of said body;
• and
• a bracket extending perpendicularly from said bottom of said claw side of said body, wherein said bracket comprises a bracket hole;
• and
• wherein said at least one claw comprises:
• a center claw disposed directly over said bracket;
• a right claw to the right of said center claw;
• and
• a left claw to the left of said center claw;
• and
• wherein:
• said bottom of said body comprises a bracket width;
• said top of said body comprises a claw width extending across said right center, and left claws;
• said bracket width is less than said claw width;
• and
• said body further comprises a right angled side extending between said bracket and said right claw and a left angled side extending between said bracket and said left claw.

A method for supporting masonry using at least one lintel support, wherein the at least one lintel support comprises a body with a top, a bottom, a height extending between the top and the bottom, and a claw side and a non-claw side;

• at least one claw extending perpendicularly from the top of the claw side of the body;
• and a bracket extending perpendicularly from the bottom of the claw side of the body;
• wherein the at least one claw comprises a center claw disposed directly over the bracket, a right claw to the right of the center claw, and a left claw to the left of the center claw, wherein the bottom of the body comprises a bracket width;
• the top of the body comprises a claw width extending across the right, center, and left claws:
• the bracket width is less than the claw width;
• and the body further comprises a right angled side extending between the bracket and the right claw and a left angled side extending between the bracket and the left claw, wherein said method comprises the steps of:
• selecting at least one point in a first mortar line above a failing lintel;
• removing mortar from the at least one point in the first mortar line;
• setting the at least one claw of the at least one lintel support into the at least one point with removed mortar such that the bracket of the at least one lintel support is disposed below the failing lintel;
• disposing a support beam beneath the bracket of the lintel support;
• disposing a jack lift beneath the support beam;
• and
• applying upward pressure from the jack lift.

A lintel support comprising:

• a flat body with a top, a bottom, a height extending between said top and said bottom, and a claw side and a non-claw side;
• at least one claw extending perpendicularly from said top of said claw side of said body, wherein said at least one claw comprises:
• a center claw;
• a right claw to the right of said center claw;
• and
• a left claw to the left of said center claw;
• and
• a bracket extending perpendicularly from said bottom of said body;
• wherein:
• said bottom of said body comprises a bracket width;
• said top of said body comprises a claw width extending across said right, center, and left claws;
• said bracket width is less than said claw width;
• and
• said body further comprises a right angled side extending between said bracket and said right claw and a left angled side extending between said bracket and said left claw.
