Claim:
An anchoring system for use in a cavity wall having a backup wall and a facing wall in a spaced apart relationship having a cavity therebetween, said backup wall and said facing wall each having an interior side facing said cavity, said backup wall and said facing wall each formed from successive courses of masonry block each with a bed joint of predetermined height between each two adjacent courses and, further, each course of masonry block having an embedment surface lying in a substantially horizontal plane, said anchoring system comprising: a hybrid wall reinforcement wall anchor adapted for disposition upon one of said courses of masonry blocks for embedment in said bed joint of said backup wall, said hybrid wall reinforcement wall anchor, further, comprising; a pair of side wires with the longitudinal axes thereof disposed parallel the one to the other, said pair of side wires having interior surfaces disposed opposite each other; one or more intermediate wires each having a longitudinal axis, said one or more intermediate wires attached to said interior surfaces of said side wires maintaining the parallelism thereof and having the axes of said side wires and said intermediate wires being substantially coplanar; at least one wall anchor portion formed from one of said pair of side wires of said wall reinforcement, said wall anchor portion further comprising, a buckle portion extending into said cavity, said buckle portion including a receiving space for receiving a veneer tie through said buckle portion, said receiving space being defined at least in part by one of said pair of side wires and one of said intermediate wires; and a veneer tie wire formative, said veneer tie further comprising, an interengaging portion dimensioned to extend through the receiving space of said buckle portion; and a free end portion continuous with said interengaging portion, said free end portion comprising a cavity-spanning portion including at least one leg configured to span the cavity, wherein the interengaging portion includes a top portion configured to overlie the longitudinal axis of the one of said intermediate wires defining the receiving space while the leg of the cavity-spanning portion extends generally parallel to the one of said intermediate wires defining the receiving space.
