Abstract

An L-shaped sheetmetal anchor with tubular leg and an anchoring assembly employing the same are disclosed. The assembly is adaptable to varied anchoring structures and for use with interlocking veneer ties and reinforcement wires to provide a high-strength surface mounted anchoring system for cavity walls. The stepped cylinders sheath the mounting hardware to limit insulation tearing and resultant loss of insulation integrity. The assembly is thermally-isolated through the use of a series of strategically placed compressible nonconductive fittings. The assemblies are vertically or horizontally surface mounted on the inner wythe.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention

[0002] This invention provides an L-shaped sheet metal anchor and anchoring assembly having a sealing, protective, and thermally-isolating tubular leg for surface mounting on the inner wythe of a cavity wall and an interengaging veneer tie to positively interconnect the inner and outer wythes. The assembly has application to seismic-resistant structures and to cavity walls having special requirements. The latter include high-strength requirements for both insulated and non-insulated cavities, namely, a structural performance characteristic capable of withstanding a 100 lbf, in both tension and compression.

[0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art

[0004] In the late 1980's, surface-mounted wall anchors were developed by Hohmann & Barnard, Inc., now a unit of MiTEK-Berkshire Hathaway Corporation, and patented under U.S. Pat. No. 4,598,518. The invention was commercialized under trademarks DW-10®, DW-10-X®, and DW-10-HS®. These widely ...
