Benefits of technology

This patent describes a new way to make stronger and more durable stones used in building facades. The method involves using a special apparatus and system to hold and install the stones. The result is a stronger and more resilient facade, which can withstand more pressure and wear and tear over time.

Problems solved by technology

The installation process is time intensive and requires extensive surface preparation.
The typical veneer system suffers due to the time required to specially prepare the attachment surface and attach each individual veneer to the surface using mortar.
Additionally, the veneer system is susceptible to cracking and failure when exposed to additional loads or vibrations.

Abstract

An apparatus and system for securing a body includes a bracket and a channel member connected to the bracket; wherein the channel member is configured to abut a surface contour of the body. The bracket is configured to attach to a surface. The channel member includes a first member connected to the bracket at a first angle; a second member attached to the first member at a second angle; and a third member attached to the second member at a third angle. A method of securing a body includes attaching first hanger to a surface, abutting a first portion of the body to a first channel member of the first hanger, abutting second portion of the body to a second portion of a second hanger, and attaching the second hanger to the surface.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 958,797, filed Jan. 9, 2020. This patent application is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety to provide continuity of disclosure.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The disclosed subject matter generally relates to structural hangers and more specifically to wall hangers for securing stone veneers.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]The use of masonry techniques have been used to attach manufactured stone veneers to a surface. The attachment surface is typically prepared through the use of an underlying fabric layer, a metal lathing, and a layer of mortar. Additional mortar is applied to a back side of the stone veneer before attaching the veneer to the prepared surface. After a section of veneer is installed to the surface, mortar may be used to fill the joints between the veneers depending on the desired aesthetics of the finished surface. The installation process i...
