Claims
- 1. An anchor member for an anchor tie for tying courses of masonry veneer to a backup wall of sheet material supported by spaced vertical studs, such anchor member comprising a plate having a nose portion adapted to be projected through a vertical slit in a backup wall sheet material, and an anchor portion to extend rearwardly of the sheet material and to be secured to a stud supporting the sheet material, said nose portion having a vertical tie wire receiving slot therein and having a maximum vertical dimension to accommodate a tie wire receiving slot not greater than the height of a veneer course, said nose portion having a horizontal dimension sufficient to present said vertical slot standing proud of the backup wall sheet material, said anchor portion of said plate being provided with a locating abutment means projecting perpendicular thereto to engage a backup wall surface to fix the projection of said anchor end beyond the backup wall sheet material.
- 2. An anchor member as claimed in claim 1 in which said sheet material is hot dip galvanized steel.
- 3. An anchor member as claimed in claim 1 in which said sheet material is stainless steel.
- 4. An anchor member as claimed in claim 1 in which said abutment means comprises tab members stamped out from said plate to engage the inner face of the backup wall sheet material.
- 5. A masonry anchor for tying a masonry veneer wall to a stud back-up wall having an outer covering, the anchor comprising a generally planar anchor plate of corrosion resistant steel having an outer coupling end for connection to a veneer tie wire and an inner anchoring end for securement to the back-up wall, the anchor plate having struck-out tabs extending laterally from the anchor plate, intermediate the coupling end and the anchoring end, the outer coupling end being insertable through a slot opening cut into the outer covering adjacent a stud in the back-up wall until the tabs engage the outer covering of the stud back-up wall to provide for proper spacing of the coupling end from the back-up wall.
- 6. A masonry anchor as claimed in claim 5 wherein the corrosion resistant steel is hot dip galvanized steel.
- 7. A masonry anchor as claimed in claim 5 wherein the corrosion resistant steel is stainless steel.
- 8. A masonry anchor as claimed in claim 5 wherein the anchoring end is provided with holding means for holding of the anchor during installation.
- 9. A masonry anchor as claimed in claim 8 wherein the holding means comprises a ledge formation struck out from said anchoring end and overlying the plane of the anchoring end to accommodate a suitable tool to be inserted into the space between said ledge formation and the plane of the anchoring end.
- 10. A masonry anchor as claimed in claim 8 in which said holding means comprises a tab formed from the material of said anchoring end and extending generally perpendicular thereto to be gripped by a hand.
