A high-span anchoring system is described for a cavity wall incorporating a wall reinforcement combined with a wall tie which together serve a wall construct having a larger-than-normal cavity. Further the various embodiments combine wire formatives which are compressively reduced in height by the cold-working thereof. Among the embodiments is a veneer anchoring system with a low-profile wall tie for use in a heavily insulated wall. The compressively reduced in height wall anchors protrude into the cavity through the seams, between insulation strips, which seams seal thereabout and maintain the integrity of the insulation by minimizing air leakage. Further, the eye wires extend across the insulation into the cavity between the wythes, and each accommodates the threading thereinto of a wire facing anchor or wall tie with either a pintle inserted through the eye or the open end of the veneer tie. The veneer tie is then positioned so that the insertion end is embedded in the facing wall. The close control of overall heights permits the mortar of the bed joints to flow over and about the wall reinforcement and wall tie combination inserted in the inner wythe and insertion end of the wall in the outer wythe. Because the wire formatives hereof employ extra strong material and benefit from the cold-working of the metal alloys, the high-span anchoring system meets the unusual requirements demanded thereof.

An anchoring system for use in a wall having an inner wythe and an outer wythe in a spaced apart relationship forming a cavity therebetween, said inner wythe formed from a plurality of successive courses of masonry blocks with a bed joint of predetermined height between each two adjacent courses, said bed joint upon construction being filled with mortar, said anchoring system comprising:a wall reinforcement adapted for insertion in said bed joint and adapted for mounting wall anchors at attachment sites at intervals therealong, said wall reinforcement being a wire formative; a plurality of wall anchors for attachment at one end thereof at spaced intervals along said wall reinforcement, each of said wall anchors being a wire formative of wire having a predetermined diameter, each of said wall anchors having at least two attachment sites; at least two indentations swaged into one or more of said wire formatives at the respective ones of said attachment sites thereof; and, a juncture fusibly and interlockingly connecting said wall anchors to said wall reinforcement the one to the other at corresponding said indentations with the combined finished height of the fusibly connected wall reinforcement and wall anchor being not greater than said predetermined diameter of said wire formative of said wall anchor. 2. An anchoring system as described in claim 1 wherein said wall anchor further comprises:an eye wire portion at the end opposite said attachment end, said eye wire portion, upon installation of said combined wall reinforcement and wall anchor, adapted for disposition in said cavity. 3. An anchoring system as described in claim 2 wherein said outer wythe is formed from a plurality of successive courses of bricks with a bed joint of predetermined height between each two adjacent courses, said anchoring system further comprising:a veneer anchor for interengagement with said eye wire portion of said wall anchor, said veneer anchor, upon installation, adapted for insertion in said bed joint of said outer wythe. 4. An anchoring system as described in claim 3 wherein said eye wire portion has two horizontally disposed eyes and said veneer anchor has two pintle legs interengaging therewith in close fitting relationship and thereby limiting movement in a horizontal plane.5. An anchoring system as described in claim 3, wherein said cavity is insulated with strips of insulation attached therein to said inner wythe, said strips having seams therebetween, and wherein said wall anchor further comprises an insulation spanning portion connecting said eye wire portion and said attachment end of said wall anchor, said insulation-spanning portion adapted for installation in said seams between said strips of said insulation.6. An anchoring system as described in claim 5 wherein said insulation-spanning portion of said wall anchor is compressed and adapted for disposition in said seams between said strips and for sealing of said strips thereabout, thereby reducing air leakage about said insulation-spanning portion.7. A wall anchor/wall reinforcement device for use in a wall masonry backup of a cavity wall structure, said backup wall formed from a plurality of successive courses of masonry blocks with a bed joint of predetermined height between each two adjacent courses, said bed joint upon construction being filled with mortar, said device comprising:a wall reinforcement adapted for insertion in said bed joint wand adapted for mounting wall anchors at attachment sites at intervals therealong, said wall reinforcement being a wire formative having two parallel side wires and an intermediate connecting wire or wires, said wall reinforcement limited in height to the diameter of said parallel side wires; a plurality of wall anchors adapted for attachment at one end thereof at spaced intervals along said wall reinforcement, each of said wall anchors being a wire formative of wire having a predetermined diameter, each of said wall anchors having at least two attachment sites corresponding to intersecting wire formatives; at least two indentations swaged into one or more of said wire formatives at the respective ones of said attachment sites thereof; and, a juncture fusibly and interlockingly connecting said wall anchors to said wall reinforcement the one to the other at corresponding said indentations with the combined finished height of the fusibly connected wall reinforcement and wall anchor being not greater than said predetermined diameter of said wire formative of said wall anchor. 8. A device as described in claim 7 wherein at each attachment site a swaged indentation is formed in the wire formative of said wall reinforcement, said intersecting wire formatives fused by heat and pressure and thereby forming a unitary device of said wall reinforcement and said wall anchor with a height at the attachment site being no greater than the diameter of said wire formative of said wall anchor.9. A device as described in claim 7 wherein said intermediate wire of said wall reinforcement is integral with said wall anchor.10. A device as described in claim 7 wherein at each attachment site a swaged indentation is formed in each intersecting ones of said wire formatives, said intersecting wire formatives fused by heat and pressure and thereby forming a unitary device of said wall reinforcement and said wall anchor with a height at the attachment site being no greater than the diameter of said wire formative of said wall anchor.11. A device as described in claim 7 wherein at each attachment site a swaged indentation is formed in the wire formative of said wall anchor, said intersecting wire formatives fused by heat and pressure and thereby forming a unitary device of said wall reinforcement and said wall anchor with a height at the attachment site being no greater than the diameter of said wire formative of said wall anchor.12. A true-joint anchoring system for use in a wall having an inner wythe and an outer wythe in a spaced apart relationship forming a cavity therebetween, said inner wythe formed from a plurality of successive courses of masonry blocks with a bed joint of a 0.375-inch maximum height between each two adjacent courses, said bed joint upon construction being filled with mortar, said device comprising:a wall reinforcement adapted for insertion in said bed joint and adapted for mounting wall anchors at attachment sites at intervals therealong, said wall reinforcement being a wire formative; a plurality of wall anchors adapted for attachment at one end thereof at spaced intervals along said wall reinforcement, each of said wall anchors being a wire formative of wire having a 0.187-inch maximum diameter, each of said wall anchors having at least two attachment sites; at least two indentations swaged into one or more of said wire formatives at the respective ones of said attachment sites thereof; and, a true-joint formed by fusibly and interlockingly connecting said wall anchors to said wall reinforcement the one to the other at corresponding said indentations, said true-joint being formed under heat and pressure to reach a combined finished height of the wall reinforcement and wall anchor device of less than said 0.187-inch diameter of said wire formative of said wall anchor. 13.
