Abstract
A gripstay channel veneer anchor assembly includes a channel member which abuttingly engages an insulation layer which in turn abuttingly engages a plurality of support members which form the inner wythe of an edifice. A clip securement menber projects through apertures in the channel member, pierces the insulation member and abuttingly engages the support member. A mounting screw is provided which connects the clip securement member, the channel member and the support member to form a rigid and reliable structure.
Claims33
A veneer anchor assembly for use in the interconnection of an inner wythe and an outer wythe of an edifice, wherein said inner wythe comprises a plurality of support members forming the frame of the edifice,
- said veneer anchor asembly comprising a vertically extending channel member, and a securement clip member,
- said channel member comprising a pair of spaced apart flange portions, and a web portion,
- said web portion being connected between the side edges of said flange portions,
- said web portion including a plurality of apertures formed therein,
- said securement clip member comprising a base portion, and a pair of arm members,
- each of said arm members including locking means,
- said arm members projecting into said apertures of said channel member in a manner whereby said locking means lockingly engage said securement clip member with respect to said channel member, and
- securing means connected to said securement clip member and said channel member for securement of said members to one of said support members and thus to said inner wythe.
A veneer anchor assembly system comprising a plurality of support members forming the frame of an edifice,
- an insulation layer disposed in abutting engagement with the outer surface of selected ones of said support members,
- at least one channel member having a pair of flange portions and a web portion,
- said flange portions having the edges thereof disposed in abutting engagement with the outer surface portion of said insulation layer,
- said web portion having a plurality of apertures formed therein,
- at least one clip securement member comprising
- a base portion, and
- a pair of arm portions projecting from said base portion,
- said arm portions projecting through selected apertures in said web portion,
- said arm portions including piercing means on the outer ends thereof capable of piercingly penetrating said insulation layer,
- said piercing means being disposed in abutting engagement with said outer surface of a selected one of said support members, thereby spacing said base portion a predetermined distance from said support member,
- said base portion being disposed in abutting engagement with said web portion of said channel member, and
- connection means interconnected between said clip securement member, said channel member and said support member for positionally securing said clip securement member and said channel member with respect to said support member, thereby preventing any undesirable movement between said clip securement member, said channel member and said support member.
A veneer anchor assembly system comprising a plurality of support members forming the frame of an edifice,
- an insulation layer disposed in abutting engagement with the outer surface of selected ones of said support members,
- a gasket layer disposed in abutting engagement with the outer surface of said insulating layer,
- at least one channel member having a pair of flange portions and a web portion,
- said flange portions having the edges thereof disposed in abutting engagement with the outer surface portion of said gasket layer,
- said web portion having a plurality of apertures formed therein,
- at least one clip securement member comprising
- a base portion, and
- a pair of arm portions projecting from said base portion,
- said arm portions projecting through selected apertures in said web portion,
- said arm portions including piercing means on the outer ends thereof capable of piercingly penetrating said gasket and insulation layers,
- said piercing means being disposed in abutting engagement with said outer surface of a selected one of said support members, thereby spacing said base portion a predetermined distance from said support member,
- said base portion being disposed in abutting engagement with said web portion of said channel member, and
- connection means interconnected between said clip securement member, said channel member and said support member for positionally securing said clip securement member and said channel member with respect to said support member, thereby preventing any undesirable movement between said clip securement member, said channel member and said support member.
