There is provided a veneer anchor for use in a dry wall construction system. The veneer anchor comprises a plate member having a vertically projecting bar portion secured thereto and disposed in substantially parallel relationship with said plate member. The anchor is employed to secure a wall board to a vertical channel or standard framing member. Thereafter, a mason inserts a wall-tie between the plate member and projecting bar portion and the wall-tie is built into the outer wythe of the wall system. The wall-tie is capable of vertical movement and thus, vertical adjustability along the length of the projecting bar portion.

Veneer anchor and dry wall construction system and method

An adjustable wall-tie reinforcing system for use in conjunction with the construction of wall systems having an inner wythe and an outer wythe, and comprising a reinforcing wall-tie assembly including a pair of spaced parallel reinforcing members disposed within said inner wythe and a plurality of predeterminably spaced laterally extending members. The laterally extending members have the inner ends thereof secured to one of said parallel reinforcing rods and the outer ends thereof disposed in the space between said wythes. The system also includes a wall-tie element comprising a longitudinal rod which has a plurality of predeterminably spaced lateral rods whose inner ends are secured to said longitudinal rod. The wall-tie element is secured in said outer wythe with the outer ends of said spaced lateral rods being disposed in the space between said wythes. These outer ends are adapted to adjustably engage with the outer ends of said laterally extending members within predetermined vertical limits, so as to secure said inner and outer wythes with respect to one another; while preventing inward or outward lateral movement of said wythes with respect to one another.
