Abstract
Disclosed is a mounting bracket for mounting wall insulation to an exterior wall. The mounting bracket is a unitary piece constructed of plastic, having a vertical wall plate, a horizontal support plate that extends orthogonal to the wall plate, and a vertical reinforcing plate that extends orthogonal to the vertical wall plate and the horizontal support plate. A bore is provided in the wall plate, for fastening the mounting bracket to the exterior wall. The reinforcing plate extends beyond the length of the horizontal support plate, to provide a mounting flange that may be fastened to a vertical wall support, such as a roof batten. The area formed by the horizontal support plate and an upper portion of the wall plate provides an unobstructed support area for supporting the wall insulation.

A mounting bracket for mounting wall insulation to a wall and to a batten, the mounting bracket comprising:
- a unitary piece constructed of a plastic material, the unitary piece including a wall plate for fastening the piece to the exterior wall, a vertical reinforcing plate that extends orthogonal to the wall plate and which has a mounting flange that is fastenable to the batten, and a horizontal support plate that extends orthogonal to the reinforcing plate and the wall plate;
- wherein the support plate is above and is strengthened by the reinforcing plate;
- wherein the support plate extends beyond both sides of the reinforcing plate, such that the reinforcing plate and the support plate form a T-profile;
- wherein the wall plate includes an upper area that extends above and a lower area that extends below the support plate;
- and
- wherein the vertical reinforcing plate has a length greater than a length of the support plate, so as to provide an insulation support surface that does not extend over the mounting flange.
