Patent ID: 8201374

Claim:
A wall anchor comprising: a base having a planar body of single-walled construction; an arm extending outwardly orthogonal to the base, the arm being of single-walled construction and having two major surfaces, the surfaces having a central plane medial thereto; and a double-walled wing contiguous with said arm and extending therefrom, the double-walled wing extending orthogonal to the base and parallel to the arm, the double walled wing having opposing portions fused together to form a planar juncture therebetween, wherein the planar juncture of the double-walled wing aligns with the central plane of the arm for maximum pull resistance; an aperture in said double-walled wing adapted to receive a veneer tie; and, wherein the wall anchor is formed from an elongate single sheet of material folded back on itself at one longitudinal end of the elongate sheet of material to form the double-walled wing.
