Veneer wall anchor system

An anchor system for a wall system including a backup wall of block masonry construction having mortar joints, a veneer wall spaced outwardly from said backup wall, the anchor system comprising:

• a wire joint reinforcement including parallel longitudinal rods connected by a plurality of cross rods, embeddable in said backup wall mortar joints;
• a plurality of relatively thin plates of generally rectangular shape and having first and second ends;
• rigid interconnection means for preforming a reinforcement and tie system between said wire joint reinforcement and said plates adjacent said first ends of said plates, said plates being longitudinally spaced with said plate second ends extenable outwardly from said backup wall;
• a plurality of tie means for interconnecting said plates at said second ends thereof to said veneer wall to prevent relative inward and outward movement between said backup wall and said veneer wall;
• and
• means for permitting connection of backup wall and veneer wall mortar joints of different vertical alignment by cooperation of said tie means and said plates.

An anchor system for a wall system including a backup wall of block masonry construction having mortar joints, brick veneer wall spaced outwardly from said backup wall and having mortar joints, the anchor system for interconnecting said walls comprising:

• a plurality of plates of generally rectangular shape and having first and second ends, said plate first ends embeddable in said backup wall mortar joints, and said second ends extendable outwardly from said backup wall, said plates also including a downwardly extending tab disposed between said ends to engage said backup wall to laterally position said plates relative to said backup wall, and an elongated aperture adjacent to said second end;
• a plurality of tie means including a first portion embeddable in said veneer wall mortar joints and a leg portion receivable in said plate apertures to prevent relative inward and outward movement between said backup wall and said veneer wall;
• and
• means for permitting connection of backup wall and veneer wall mortar joints of different vertical alignment by cooperation of said leg portions and said plate apertures.

An anchor system for a wall system including a backup wall of block masonry construction having mortar joints, a brick veneer wall having mortar joints, and a space between said backup wall and said veneer wall, the anchor system for interconnecting the walls comprising:

• a wire joint reinforcement including parallel longitudinal rods connected by a plurality of cross rods embeddable in said backup wall mortar joints;
• a plurality of longitudinally spaced plates of generally rectangular shape and having first and second ends, said plates being secured to said wire joint reinforcement adjacent said first ends thereof, and said second ends extendable outwardly from said backup wall into said space, said plates including a downwardly extending tab disposed between said ends to engage said backup wall to laterally position said plate and wire joint reinforcement relative to said backup wall, and an elongated aperture adjacent to said second end;
• tie means including a first portion embeddable in said veneer wall mortar joints and a leg portion receivable in said plate aperture to prevent relative inward and outward movement between said backup wall and said veneer wall;
• and
• means for permitting connection of backup wall and veneer wall mortar joints of different vertical alignment by cooperation of said leg portions and said plate apertures.

An anchor system for a wall system including a backup wall of block masonry construction having mortar joints, a brick veneer wall having mortar joints, a cavity between said backup wall and said veneer wall, and a wall of rigid insulation disposed between said backup wall and said brick wall partially filling said cavity, the anchor system for interconnecting said walls and comprises

• a wire joint reinforcement including parallel longitudinal rods connected by a plurality of cross rods, embeddable in said backup wall mortar joints;
• a plurality of plates, of generally rectangular shape having first and second ends;
• rigid interconnection means for preforming a reinforcement and tie system by welds between said wire joint reinforcement and said plates adjacent said first ends thereof with said plates longitudinally spaced and said second ends extendable outwardly through said rigid insulation into said cavity, said plates including a downwardly extending tab disposed between said ends to engage said backup wall to laterally position said plate and reinforcement relative to said backup wall and said insulation, and an elongated aperture adjacent and parallel to said second end disposed outwardly of said insulation;
• a spring clip fastener receivable in said aperture engagable with said insulation wall to retain said insulation wall in contact with said backup wall;
• and
• a plurality of tie means including a generally U-shaped portion embeddable in said veneer wall mortar joints and leg portions receivable in said plate aperture to prevent relative inward and outward movement between said backup wall and said veneer wall.
