Abstract

"TIE SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR MASONRY VENEER"

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
Conventional masonry support ties extend through insulation or sheathing and are secured to metal or wooden studs. In order to secure same, the insulation or sheathing material is often compressed so that suf-ficient support is provided. This lowers the insulation value and permits moisture penetration either of which may allow movement of the veneer and which may cause cracking or deterioration thereof. The present system provides a support or tie which may be applied on top of the insulation or sheathing and which will transfer the load directly to the face of the stud without compressing the insulation or sheathing. It comprises a length of channel having four pointed legs extending perpendicular to the plane thereof which assist in piercing the insula-tion or sheathing. The length of the legs are substan-tially equal to the thickness of the insulation or sheathing so that no compression takes place yet because the points of the legs engage the face of the stud, the tie support attached thereto enables the load of the masonry veneer to be transferred directly to the face of the stud.

"TIE SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR MASONRY VENEER'' BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in tie support systems for use with masonry veneer of brick, stone, or other such materials.
Conventionally, either insulation or sheathing is applied to the faces of vertically situated spaced and parallel studs and the veneer is then supported by means of ties which are applied on top of the insulation or sheathing to the studs therebehind. These conventional supports normally compress the insulation or shea-thing when installed in order to give sufficient support to the facing material and this often allows moisture to penetrate with subsequent distortion or cracking of the veneer and in general, are unsatisfactory in use.
The present invention overcomes these disadvan-tages by providing a tie support device which includes a plurality of legs extending from a tie support surface.
These legs are adapted to pierce the insulation or sheathing and are of a depth such that the pointed ends of the legs engage the face o~ the stud with the tie support sur~ace engaging the outer face of the insulation or sheathing. These devices are secured to the studs ~q~
~,~

L33~

without any compression of the insulation or sheathing yet at the same time spread and transfer the load directly, via the tie, from the masonry veneer to the studs behind the insulation or sheathing.
SUMMARY OF THE I~ENTION
One aspect of the invention is to provide a tie support device comprising in combination a main channel portion having a base flange and a pair of side flanges, one on each longitudinal side edge of said base flange and extending substantially at right angles to the pîane thereof, s~ud face engaging legs extending from adjacent each end of said main channel portion, ~he depth of said legs being substantially similar to the thickness of ~he sheathing or insulation through which said legs extend and means on said hase fla.nge of said channel portion to detachably secure a veneer support tie.
Another aspect of the invention is to provide a blank for forming a tie support device in which the side of said leg adjacent the end of said channel extends substantially perpendicular from the longitudinal axis of said base flange, the other side edge inclining outwardly from said base Flange toward said pointed end.
Another aspect of the invention is to provide a device of the character herewithin described which is 33~

extremely simple in construction, economical in manu-facture and otherwise well suited to the purpose for which it is designed.
With the foregoing in view, and other advan-tages as will become apparent to those skilled in the art to which this invention relates as this specification proceeds, the invention is herein described by reference to the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof, which includes a description of the best mode known to the applicant and o~ ~he preferred typical embodiment of the principles of the present invention, in which:
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWIMGS

indicate corxesponding parts in the different figures.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION

-Conventionally, brick veneer ties used in conjunction with insulation or exterior sheathing utilize screws to secure the devices to the back-up system such as studs. However, they both have to be installed prior to the installation of the insulation or sheathing which of course can interfere with the construction sequence and because of their size and metal contact continuity, their use often can reduce the thermal efficiency.
The present invention overcomes both of these disadvantages and reference should first be made to Figure l which shows a blank used to form the tie sup-port. It is preferably stamped out from galvanized metal of the required gauge depending upon design parameters.
16 and 18 gauge material are useable in the majority of instances.
The blank consists of a substantially elongated rectangular central portion lO having triangular legs 11 extending from adjacent the ends 12 of the central portion. These legs include a side 13 extending perpen-dicular to the longitudinal axis 14 of the central portion lO, and an inner side 15 which inclines outwardly from the longitudinal side edges 16 of the blank, ter-~2S:~336 minating in a pointed distal end 17 where it joins theedge 13 as clearly shown.
Bend or fold lines 1~3 extend from one end to the other of the central portion of the blank and are inboard of the longitudinal side edges 16 thereof as clearly shown in phantom in Figure 1 thus enabling the outboard portions of the central portion 10 ~ogether with the legs 11, to be b~nt at right angles to the plane of the central portion 10 so that the two pairs of legs lie spaced and parallel from one another as cle~rly shown in Figur0 2 and the outboard portions of the cen~ral portion form, together with the central portion, a channel con-figuration. These outboard portions are indicated by reference character 19.
This channel configuration gives the necessary strength to the tie support and acts as a load trans-ferring device together with the legs 11. Apertures 20 are formed through the central portion ].0 along the longitudinal axis 14 thereof.
Figures 3, 4 and 5 show the supports installed.
Reference character 21 shows a vertical steel stud having an inner flange 22 and an outer flange 23 with insulation
2~ being situated between the flanges and against the web 25.

33~

Rigid insulation or ~he l.ike 26 is installed against the faces 27 and extends between adjacent studs in the usual way and the tie supports are then engaged upon the outer face 28 of the insulation and pushed inwardly so that the legs 11 pierce through the insula-tion facilitated by the pointed ends 17 thereof. The length of the legs is substantially equal to the thick-ness of the insulation 26 so that when installed as shown in Figure 3, the pointed ends 17 of the legs engage the face 27 of the studs and the flanges 19 pierce the insulation slightly so that the inner face 29 of the channel is in inter-facial contact with the outer surface 28 of the insulation as clearly shown.
In Figure 3, a corrugated strip tie 30 is secured to the device by means of a self-tapping screw 31 which engages the inner end portion 32 of the tie, the central aperture 20 of the support and the flange 23 oF
the channel-shaped stud, whereupon the veneer facing 33 may be constructed with the ties engaging the mortar joints 34. It will be noted that an air space 35 i5 left between the inner side 36 of the masonry veneer and the outer face 28 of the insulation thus increasing the insulating value of the construction and minimizing the heat transfer through the metal contact of the veneer ~L~5~33~i support sys~em. The load is transferred through the legs to the face of the stud 21 without any compression occurring to the insulation sheet 26.
In Figure 4, an alternative tie assembly is shown with the tie 37 being adjustably secured around a vertically situated clip 38 which in ~urn is secured to the tie support by means of two self-tapping screws 31 securing same to the device and to the stud by the upper and lower apertures 20 as clearly shown.
Figure 5 shows an adjustable continuous ~rick joint reinforcement in which the tie 39 is secured ~o the device similarly to that shown and described in Figure 4 and then ~his ~ie in turn is secured to a longitudinally extending tie bar 40 which extends through the mortar joints of adjacent veneer bricXs 41 clearly shown.
In all cases, the load is transferred directly to the face of the studs by means of the legs and of course the attaching self-tapping screws 31 without any damage occurring to the insulation or sheathing attached to the face o~ the studs.
It would therefore be seen that the invention provide support ~o the metal ties used to transfer loads from masonry veneer to the metal stub backup systems.
The ties are designed utilizing the air space between the ~5~33~

masonry veneer and the semi-rigid or rigid insulation always provided of course that the capacity of the devices and the backup system is not exceeded.
Since various modifications can be made in my invention as hereinabove described, and many apparently widely different embodiments of same made within ~he spirit and scope of the claims without depar~ing from such spirit and scope, it is intended that all matter contained in the accompanying specification shall be interpreted as illustrative only and not in a limiting sense~
