Side-welded anchor and reinforcement devices for a cavity wall are disclosed. The devices are combined with interlocking veneer anchors, and with veneer reinforcements to form unique anchoring systems. The components of each system are structured from reinforcing wire and wire formatives, including as part thereof truss or ladder mesh reinforcements, and provide wire-to-wire connections therebetween. Beyond the portions of the wire formatives inserted in the backup wall, the wire formatives are reduced in height by cold-working thereof. The combined side-welded wall anchor and reinforcement devices are compressively reduced in height for spanning insulation mounted on the exterior of the backup wall. The low-profile portions are disposed between thick strips of insulation and maintain integrity thereof by preventing air leakage.

1. A side-welded anchor and reinforcement device for use in a wall formed from a backup wall and a facing wall in a spaced apart relationship having a cavity therebetween, said backup wall being formed from a plurality of successive courses of masonry blocks with a bed joint of predetermined height
1. A side-welded anchor and reinforcement device for use in a wall formed from a backup wall and a facing wall in a spaced apart relationship having a cavity therebetween, said backup wall being formed from a plurality of successive courses of masonry blocks with a bed joint of predetermined height between each two adjacent courses and, further, having a vertical surface forming one side of said cavity, said bed joint and said vertical surface defining an envelope, said side-welded anchor and reinforcement device comprising, in combination:a wall reinforcement adapted for disposition upon one of said courses of masonry blocks and for embedment in said bed joint of said backup wall, said wall reinforcement being a wire formative, in turn, comprising;a pair of side wires disposed parallel to one another;one or more intermediate wires attached to the interior sides of said side wires maintaining the parallelism thereof in a truss or ladder configuration;at least one wall anchor fusibly attached at one end thereof to said wall reinforcement at the side opposite said interior side of said intermediate wire attachment, and, upon installation, extending into said envelope, said wall anchor comprising, in turn:one or more leg portions extending into said cavity; and,a free end contiguous therewith, said free end disposed in said cavity and adapted to interengage a veneer anchor for mounting in said bed joint of said facing wall. 2. A side-welded anchor and reinforcement device as described in claim 1, wherein said wall anchor is a wire formative having two legs extending into said cavity, said legs connected to one another by a rear leg fusibly attached along the length thereof to said exterior side of said side wire. 3. A side-welded anchor and reinforcement device as described in claim 2, wherein said free end further comprises a veneer anchor receptor of vertically disposed eye wires. 4. A side-welded anchor and reinforcement device as described in claim 2, wherein said free end further comprises a veneer anchor receptor of horizontally disposed eye wires. 5. A side-welded anchor and reinforcement device as described in claim 2, wherein said backup wall further has an insulative layer mounted on the said vertical surface in said cavity, said insulative layer being spanned by extended legs of said wall anchor. 6. A side-welded anchor and reinforcement device as described in claim 5, wherein said extended leg portions are compressively reduced in height up to 75% of the original height thereof, said insulative layer further comprises a plurality of insulative strips mounted sealingly one against the other having a seam between adjacent ones of said strips, said seams being substantially coplanar with corresponding said bed joint of said backup wall and wherein said extended leg of said wall anchor portion is adapted, upon said wall anchor being mounted in said bed joint of said backup wall, to extend across said insulative layer at said seam between adjacent ones of said insulative strips and to have said insulative strips sealingly surround said extended leg of said wall anchor. 7. A side-welded anchoring system for use in a wall formed from a backup wall and a facing wall in a spaced apart relationship having a cavity therebetween, said backup wall being formed from a plurality of successive courses of masonry blocks with a bed joint of predetermined height between each two adjacent courses and, further, having a vertical surface forming one side of said cavity, said bed joint and said vertical surface defining an envelope, said side-welded anchoring system comprising, in combination:a wall reinforcement adapted for disposition upon one of said courses of masonry blocks and for embedment in said bed joint of said backup wall, said wall reinforcement being a wire formative, in turn, comprising;a pair of side wires disposed parallel to one another;one or more intermediate wires attached to the interior sides of said side wires maint aining the parallelism thereof in a truss or ladder configuration;at least one wall anchor fusibly attached at one end thereof to said wall reinforcement at the side opposite said interior side of said intermediate wire attachment, and, upon installation, extending into said envelope, said wall anchor comprising, in turn:one or more leg portions extending into said cavity; and,a free end contiguous therewith, said-free end disposed in said cavity and including a veneer anchor receptor for interengaging a veneer anchor; and,a veneer anchor for embedment in said facing wall. 8. A side-welded anchoring system as described in claim 7, wherein said facing wall is formed from a plurality of successive courses of brick with a bed joint of predeter mined height between each two adjacent courses, said side-welded anchoring system further comprising a veneer anchor having an interlocking end and an insertion end, said interlocking end adapted to engage said veneer anchor receptor of said wall anchor and said insertion end adapted to be disposed within said bed joint of said facing wall. 9. A side-welded anchoring system as described in claim 8, wherein said wall anchor further comprises:veneer anchor receptor at the end opposite said attachment end, said veneer anchor receptor, upon installation of said side-welded anchoring system, disposed in said cavity. 10. A side-welded anchoring system as described in claim 9, wherein said facing wall is formed from a plurality of successive courses of bricks with a bed joint of predetermined height between each two adjacent courses, said side-welded anchoring system further comprising:a veneer anchor for interengagement with said veneer anchor receptor of said wall anchor, said veneer anchor, upon installation, adapted for insertion in said bed joint of said outer wythe. 11. A side-welded anchoring system as described in claim 10 wherein said veneer anchor receptor has two vertically disposed loops and said veneer anchor is a box tie having an opening for threadingly engaging said wall anchor, said opening, upon installation, adapted for insertion in said bed joint of said outer wythe. 12. A side-welded anchoring system as described in claim 11 wherein said opening of said veneer anchor is between two parallel front legs, said anchoring system further comprising:a veneer reinforcement disposed between said front legs;whereby said anchoring system meets the requirements of seismic specifications. 13. A side-welded anchoring system as described in claim 10, wherein said veneer anchor receptor has two horizontally disposed eyes and said veneer anchor has two pintle legs interengaging therewith in a closely fitting relationship and thereby limiting movement in a horizontal plane. 14. A veneer anchor for use with a cavity wall formed from a backup wall and a facing wall in a spaced apart relationship having a cavity therebetween, and a wall anchoring system having a wall anchor and a wall reinforcement device for said backup wall, said veneer anchor comprising:a U-shaped wire formative having, upon installation, an insertion portion and a cavity-disposed portion;a pair of pintle legs contiguous with the ends of said cavity-disposed portion and attached thereto at approximately 90 degrees, said pintle legs interengageable with said wall anchor; and,a pair of swaged indentations in said insertion portion of said U-shaped wire formative, one in each leg thereof and adapted to encapture a veneer reinforcement therewithin;whereby said veneer anchor meets the requirements of seismic specifications. 15. A veneer anchor as described in claim 14 wherein said swaged indentations are on opposite sides of said wire formative and the veneer reinforcement is interweavable therethrough.
