HIGH-STRENGTH RIBBON PINTLES AND ANCHORING SYSTEMS UTILIZING THE SAME

摘要

A high-strength ribbon pintle and cavity wall anchoring system employing the same is disclosed. The ribbon pintle is a wire formative construct that is cold-worked with the resultant body having substantially semicircular edges and flat surfaces therebetween. The edges are aligned to receive compressive forces transmitted from the outer wythe. The ribbon pintles hereof, when part of the anchoring system, interengage with receptor portions of a wall anchor and are dimensioned to preclude significant movement lateral with or normal to the inner wythe.
