WALL-mexicaine nevica.

Application led October 18, 1 926.` Serial No.` 142,359.

The object of my invention is to provide a wall anchoring device of simple, durable and inexpensive construction.

A` further object is to provide an anchorinflr device which may be secured to the inside of a form intol which concrete is to be poured whereb when the form is removed, the anchor wil be completely imbedded in the concrete with-the exception of a very small portion. t

Still a further object is to provide such a device to be imbedded in concrete and to provide a spring tie adapted to coact therewith which tie `ma be imbedded ina brick wall or the like w ich is to be anchored to the concrete.

Still a` further object is to provide portions of the device which coact with the surface of the form and thereby securel hold the anchoring device in proper posif tion. t

Still a further ob'ect is to provide por,-Y tions which are imbedded in theconcrete but which may be withdrawn from the concrete by the insertion of a punch or chisel behind the portion for the purpose of receiving the spring tie which serves to anchor the brick wall to thel concrete. c

Still a further object is to provide a spring tie which can be sprung to'engage the an choring wire and due to its resiliency will stay in position after being placed on the wire.

lVith these and other objects in view, my invention consists in the construction, arrangement and combination of the various parts of my wall anchoring device, whereby the objects contemplated are attained, as hereinafter more fully set-forth, pointed out in my claims, and illustrated in the accompanylng drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a portion of one of the anchoring wires showing one of the loops `formed thereon.

Figure 2 is a side elevation ofthe same showing it in position secured to the inside of a concrete form.

Figure 3is another side elevation of the anchoring wire and is taken on'the line 3 3 of fFigure 2.

Figure 4 is a sectional view line 4 4 of Figure 2.

Figure 5 is a lan View of the spring tie I use in my anc oring construction..

Figure 6 illustrates` the anchoring device taken on the secured to the inside" of a concrete form and the concrete poured into the form whereby the anchoring wire is imbedded in the concrete. c Figure 7 is a view similar to Figure 6 with the form removed and a veneer of brick anchored to the concrete; and e 4Figure 8 is a sectional view on the line 8-8 of Figure 7.

On the accompanying drawing, I have used the reference numeral 10 to indicate generally a wire of which a portion of my anchoring construction is formed. The wire 10 is straight as indicated at 11 and is bent laterally as indicated at 12. A bend 12 occurs at each end of the straight ortions 11 and the entire device may be as ong as practical and contain any desired number of straight portions 11.

The laterally extending portions 12 are loo ed around each other as indicated at 13 an are then formed into a loop 14 which loop is for the purposeof being imbedded in concrete. t In Figure 2 I have illustrated the wire 11 secured to the insideof a concrete formfl by staples 16. Of course, `any other det sired means may be provided for securing the anchoring wire to the inside ofthe form.

`The portions 12 as well as the portions 11 of the wire engage the surface of theform 15 to prevent any ivotal movement of the anchoring wire. he looped portions 13 prevent distortion of the 10013114:` Which would occur if a stretching strain was exerted on the anchoring wire.

`In the use of my device, it is Secura to the inside of a form and concrete 17, as indicated in Figure 6, is poured into the form thereby imbedding the loops 14 in the concrete. After the form 15 is removed, a concrete wall 17 is the result withjust the surfaceof the wire 11 and portions 12 being `exposed to view.` The major portion ofthe wire is imbedded in the concrete and that portion exposed to view is only for the purt pose oi finding the anchoringk device after the form is removed.` When it is desired to build a brick wall 18 against the concrete wall` "17 and to anchor it thereto, the bends between the portions 11 and the portions12 are bent outwardly so that a wirecan be inserted therebehind.` These portions are bent out as indicated by the dotted lines in Figure 1 and as illustrated in Figure 7.`

This operation can easily be done by drivin@ a punch or cold chisel into the concrete and behind these bends after which they may be pried outwardly.

In Figure 5, I tie formed ot a wire 19 substantially U shaped and having outwardly inclined hooked ends 20. These ends may be sprung By using wire in to the dotted line position and then hooked around the bent out portions ot the anchoring wire after which they spring back together and are thus securely held by the anchoring wire.

The brick wall 18 is then built up and the spring ties 19 are imbedded in the .mortar between the bricks thereby securely'holding the brick wall to thei concrete wall. The position of the spring ties 19 in the mortar is clearly shown in Figure 8 of the drawlnfr.

tliVhere it is desired to secure metal lath to the concrete wall 17, the bends lbetween the portions 11 and4 12 of the anchoring wire may be` bent outwardly and the lath secured thereto by means of wire or hooks.

From the foregoing, it will be seen that I hz ve provided a wall anchoring device which may be secured to the. inside of la form and imbedded in the concrete which is poured into the form. y Substantial anchorage is provided by the loops 14 and portions ofthe anchoring wire adjacent the loops 14 may be employed for securing my springties thereto and a brick `or other veneered wall may be securely anchored to the concrete wall by means of the spring ties. e

the construction of my anchoring device, only a very small ortion of theanchoring device is exposed a ter the forms areremoved. Ihave also provided an improvedtie which can be fastened to the anchoring wire and is not likely to be displaced therefrom. y

`Some changes may be made inthe details of the structure and arrangement of the parts of my improved wall anchoring device without departing from the real spirit and purpose of my invention, and it is my intention to cover by my claims, any modified forms of structure or use ot mechanical equivalent-s, which may be reasonably included within their scope.`
