Abstract
A facade attachment device for connecting an exterior façade wall to a support wall. The base has an elongated member extending transversely from a mounting plate. The elongated member has a plurality of teeth. The retainer has an insulation engaging portion, a facade attachment portion, and a receiving passage. The receiving passage is sized to receive the elongated member. The receiving passage extends through the insulation engaging portion. The retainer has a ratcheting mechanism. The ratcheting mechanism comprises a locking member engageable with at least one of the plurality of teeth of the elongated member to prevent retainer from moving in at least one direction. The façade attachment portion is configured to receive a connection with the façade wall.

A paneling attachment device for connecting panel cladding to a vertical support wall, comprising:
- a base comprising a shaft and a back plate, the shaft comprising a plurality of shaft teeth, the shaft extending transversely from the back plate, the shaft is permanently connected to the back plate, the back plate is attachable to the support wall;
- and,
- a retainer comprising a panel connection plate, an insulation contact plate, a connecting portion, a receiving channel, and a locking arm,
- the panel connection plate is spaced apart from the insulation contact plate, the connecting portion extends between the panel connection plate and the insulation contact plate, the receiving channel comprising a receiving entrance on the insulation contact plate, the receiving channel extending transversely through the insulation contact plate and is configured to receive the shaft, the locking arm is adjacent the receiving channel, the locking arm is biased to a locked position where the locking arm engages at least one of the plurality of shaft teeth when the at least one of the plurality of shaft teeth is adjacent the locking arm to prevent the retainer from moving in a first direction opposite the back plate,
- the panel connection plate is opposite the insulation contact plate, the panel connection plate is flat, the panel connection plate is larger than the receiving entrance, the panel connection plate configured to receive a connection with the panel cladding,
