Adjustable anchor for curtain-wall system

1. A curtain-wall anchor, comprising:

a back member having a first arcuate slotted aperture and a second aperture formed therein, the first arcuate slotted aperture receiving a first mounting bolt and the second aperture receiving a second mounting bolt;

a first plurality of vertically-oriented ridges formed in the back member proximate the first arcuate slotted aperture and the second aperture such that the first arcuate slotted aperture is oriented at a non-perpendicular angle relative to the first plurality of vertically-oriented ridges;

a flange having a first portion that is arranged parallel to the back member and a first arm that is arranged perpendicular to the first portion, the first portion having a second plurality of vertically-oriented ridges that are complementary to the first plurality of vertically-oriented ridges, the first portion having a third plurality of vertically-oriented ridges disposed on a face opposite the second plurality of vertically-oriented ridges;

a first locking washer that is received onto the first mounting bolt, the first locking washer having a fourth plurality of vertically-oriented ridges that are complementary to the third plurality of vertically-oriented ridges formed in the back member.

2. The curtain-wall anchor of claim 1 , wherein the second aperture is a horizontal slot.

3. The curtain-wall anchor of claim 1 , wherein the second aperture is an angled slot.

4. The curtain-wall anchor of claim 1 , comprising:

a second arm extending from the back member.

5. The curtain-wall anchor of claim 4 , wherein at least one of the first arm and the second arm comprises a plurality of jointed members.

6. The curtain-wall anchor of claim 5 , wherein at the flange is slidably coupled to the back member.

7. A curtain-wall anchor, comprising:

a back member having a first arcuate slotted aperture and a second aperture formed therein, the first arcuate slotted aperture receiving a first mounting bolt and the second aperture receiving a second mounting bolt;

a first plurality of vertically-oriented ridges formed in the back member proximate the first arcuate slotted aperture and the second aperture such that the first arcuate slotted aperture is oriented at a non-perpendicular angle relative to the first plurality of vertically-oriented ridges;

a first locking washer that is received onto the first mounting bolt, the first locking washer having a second plurality of vertically-oriented ridges that are complementary to the first plurality of vertically-oriented ridges formed in the back member.

8. The curtain-wall anchor of claim 7 , wherein the second aperture is a horizontal slot.

9. The curtain-wall anchor of claim 7 , wherein the second aperture is an angled slot.

10. The curtain-wall anchor of claim 7 , comprising:

a first arm extending from the back member; and

a second arm extending from the back member in a spaced relationship to the first arm.

11. The curtain-wall anchor of claim 10 , wherein at least one of the first arm and the second arm comprises a plurality of jointed members.

12. The curtain-wall anchor of claim 11 , wherein at least one of the first arm and the second arm are slidably coupled to the back member.

13. The curtain-wall anchor of claim 12 , wherein at least one of the first arm and the second arm is coupled to the back member via at least one of the first mounting bolt and the second mounting bolt.

14. The curtain-wall anchor of claim 13 , wherein the at least one of the first arm and the second arm comprises a fourth plurality of vertically-oriented ridges that are complementary to the first plurality of vertically-oriented ridges.

15. A method of installing a curtain-wall anchor, the method comprising:

securing a back member to a building structure with a first mounting bolt that is received through a first arcuate slotted aperture formed in the back member and with a second mounting bolt that is received through a second aperture formed in the back member, the back member having a first plurality of vertically-oriented ridges formed therein such that the first arcuate slotted aperture is oriented at a non-perpendicular angle relative to the first plurality of vertically-oriented ridges;

adjusting, via the first arcuate slotted aperture, an angular position of the back member to a select angular position relative to the building structure;

adjusting a lateral position of a flange having a first portion that is arranged parallel to the back member and a first arm that is arranged perpendicular to the first portion, the first portion having a second plurality of vertically-oriented ridges that are complementary to the first plurality of vertically-oriented ridges, the first portion having a third plurality of vertically-oriented ridges disposed on a face opposite the second plurality of vertically-oriented ridges; and

securing the back member in the select angular position relative to the building structure utilizing a first locking washer, the first locking washer comprising a fourth plurality of vertically-oriented ridges that are complementary to the third plurality of vertically-oriented ridges.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the back member is secured to a top surface of the building structure.

17. The method of claim 15 , wherein the back member is secured to a front surface of the building structure.
