Abstract:
A support assembly supports external veneer such as face-brick. A bracket mounts to a load bearing wall support structure. A shelf angle includes a horizontal leg that defines a surface upon which to mount the veneer. The mounting bracket may be a channel having a seat that includes an outwardly protruding toe, an accommodation for the shelf angle, and an overhanging finger. The back of the shelf angle may have apertures to admit the toes of the mounting bracket. The seat includes an oversized slot having a relief angle to permit the shelf angle web to be rotated angularly during assembly. The mounting bracket has an overhanging arm for engaging the part of a cross-wise running beam, such as an I-beam upper flange. The mounting bracket has an abutment for contacting a lower part of the beam, such as a lower flange of an I-beam. There is a fitting to secure the bracket to the beam.

Claim (Index 1):
A mounting assembly for mounting masonry to a supporting wall structure that includes one of (a) a floor slab, and (b) a beam, the masonry being spaced away therefrom on installation, said mounting assembly comprising:\n a shelf angle; a first mounting member; and a second mounting member; said first and second mounting members being spaced laterally apart from each other; said shelf angle having a vertical leg and a horizontal leg; said shelf angle being having a length running laterally to span said first and second mounting members; said horizontal leg defining a shelf for the masonry; said horizontal leg extending forwardly of said vertical leg; said first and second mounting members extending rearwardly of said vertical leg; each of said first and second mounting members extending forwardly away from the one of (a) the floor slab; and (b) the beam; each of said first and second mounting members having an upper region and a lower region; said respective upper regions of said first and second mounting members each having a support attachment fitting for securement to the one of (a) the floor slab; and (b) the beam; said respective support attachment fittings being higher than said vertical leg of said shelf angle; said respective lower regions of said first and second mounting members extending downwardly lower than the one of (a) the floor slab; and (b) the beam; said lower regions of said first and second mounting members having respective seats in which said shelf angle is removably mounted; said shelf angle extending forwardly away from said respective lower regions of said first and second mounting members when mounted in said respective seats; and said horizontal leg of said shelf angle being lower than, and spaced forwardly away from, the one of (a) the floor slab; and (b) the beam.
