Abstract

A flush mount masonry veneer anchor for mounting on an exterior wall and tying a masonry veneer to the exterior wall, the masonry veneer anchor comprising an anchoring portion with anchor holes to receive a suitable fastener to attach the anchoring portion to an exterior surface of the exterior wall and a tie wire holding portion extending perpendicularly from the anchoring portion, the tie wire holding portion having one end connected to the anchoring portion and having a slot in an opposite end for holding a tie wire for tying the masonry veneer to the exterior wall, the anchor holes being in line with the tie wire holding portion to transfer extrusion and compression loads exerted on the tie wire holding portion directly through fasteners in the anchor holes to the exterior wall without an offset of a plane of the transfer of the forces.

Claims (12)

1. A flush mount masonry veneer anchor for mounting on an exterior wall and tying a masonry veneer to the exterior wall, the masonry veneer anchor comprising an anchoring portion with anchor holes to receive a suitable fastener to attach the anchoring portion to an exterior surface of the exterior wall and a tie wire holding portion comprising a single body extending perpendicularly from the anchoring portion, the tie wire holding portion having one end coupled to the anchoring portion and having a slot spaced from said anchoring portion in an opposite end for holding a tie wire at a single point through the single body of the tie wire holding portion for tying the masonry veneer to the exterior wall, the anchor holes being above and below and in line with the tie wire holding portion to transfer extension and compression loads exerted .on the tie wire holding portion directly through fasteners in the anchor holes to the exterior wall without an offset of a plane of the transfer of the forces; and wherein said anchor portion and said tie wire holding portion are an integral monolithic structure.

2. A flush mount masonry veneer anchor according to claim 1 wherein the height of the anchoring portion is greater than the height of the tie wire holding portion and extends above and below the tie wire holding portion, the anchor holes being located in the portion of the anchoring portion above and below and in line with the tie wire holding portion.

3. A flush mount masonry veneer anchor according to claim 2 wherein said anchoring portion includes a first anchor base and an integral second anchor base; said second anchor base is folded back to lie flat against the first anchor base; and said first anchor base, said second anchor base and said tie wire holding portion are an integral monolithic structure.

4. A flush mount masonry veneer anchor according to claim 3 wherein said anchoring portion and said tie wire holding portion are formed of a single sheet of metal and said tie wire portion is bent to a position generally perpendicular to said base portion.

5. A flush mount masonry veneer anchor according to claim 3 wherein said first anchor base and said second anchor base arc fixed together.

6. A flush mount masonry veneer anchor as claimed in claim 5 wherein said first anchor base and said second anchor base are spot welded together.

7. A flush mount masonry veneer anchor as claimed in claim 5 wherein said first anchor base and said second anchor base are fixed together by metal adhesive between an outward directed face of the first anchor base and an inward directed second anchor base.

8. A flush mount masonry veneer for mounting on exterior wall and typing a mansonry veneer to the exterior wall, the mansonry veneer anchor comprising a generally “E-shaped” anchoring portion having a top tab, a central tab and a bottom tab with anchor holes to receive a suitable fastener to attach the anchoring portion to an exterior surface of the exterior wall and a tie wire holding portion comprising a sin le body portion extending perpendicularly from the anchoring portion, the tie wire holding portion having one end coupled to the anchoring portion and having a slot spaced from said. anchor portion in an opposite end for holding a tie wire for tying the masonry veneer to the exterior wall, the anchor holes being above and below and in line with the tie wire holding portion to transfer extension and compression loads exerted on the tie wire holding portion directly through fasteners in the anchor holes to the exterior wall without an offset of a plane of the transfer of the forces; said anchor portion and said tie wire holding portion are an integral monolithic structure; and wherein the height of the anchoring portion is greater than the height of the tie wire holding portion and extends above and below the tie wire holding portion, the anchor holes being located in the portion of the anchoring portion above and below and in line with the tie wire holding portion.

9. A flush mount masonry veneer anchor according to claim 8 wherein said anchoring portion includes a first anchor base and an integral second anchor base; said second anchor base is folded back to lie flat against the first anchor base; and said first anchor base, said second anchor base and said tie wire holding portion are an integral monolithic structure.

10. A flush mount masonry veneer anchor according to claim 9 wherein said anchoring portion and said tie wire holding portion are formed of a single sheet of metal and said tie wire portion is bent to a position generally perpendicular to said base portion.

11. A flush mount masonry veneer anchor according to claim 9 wherein said first anchor base and said second anchor base are fixed together.

12. A flush mount masonry veneer anchor as claimed in claim 11 wherein said first anchor base and said second anchor base arc spot welded together.
