Abstract
A masonry veneer wall anchor formed of an integral metal form preformed as an L-shaped bar has one leg overlying a building frame member for attachment thereto and has an outstanding leg with slotted holes formed therein in selected spaced relation through which a tying member may be inserted for vertical adjustment, the tying member engaging the edges of the slot to provide improved resistance to compressive as well as pulling forces, thereby maximizing functional effectiveness.
Claims9
For use in a masonry wall veneer tie construction, a unitary wall anchor comprising,
- first and second integrated rectangularly shaped leg components or coextensive length,
- each having ends spaced apart from one another in the direction of a vertical axis and
- each having a first longitudinal edge which is common to both thereby to form a corner joint, and
- each having a second longitudinal edge which is spaced from said first edge and disposed in respective offset planes intersecting at said corner joint,
- said first leg component having means for fastening said anchor with said first leg component in overlying relation to an adjoining architectural member,
- said second leg component having elongated slot means formed therein inwardly of its edges and bounded longitudinally by ends and bounded laterally by inner and outer sides extending in parallelism to said vertical axis,
- said slot means being sized to receive a tie means inserted therein in vertical sliding adjustment,
- the respective inner and outer sides of said slot means being engageable with the tie means for transmitting both pulling and pushing forces to the adjoining architectural member over the entire area of said overlying first leg component.
