Abstract: A wall tie connector for masonry-veneer, panels, or curtain-wall claddings, has a ductile attachment plate for attachment to a support frame or to the masonry, the panel, or the curtain wall, and has a pair of protruding apertured flanges in which a ductile bar with at least one keying portion is keyed into an aperture to prevent rotation about its longitudinal axis. A retaining tie member is slideably mounted on the bar, and is connectable to masonry veneer, a panel or a curtain wall, or to a support member. The ductile attachment plate may have secondary flanges orthogonal to the main apertures flanges, and so arranged as to penetrate an insulation layer or to key into a masonry wall.

Abstract: A wall tie connector for binding a masonry or glass `veneer` wall to a support frame, having an attachment plate by which it may be fixed to such a support frame, and a twisted tie plate which is closely coupled to a rod passing through an aperture at one end of the tie plate so that the tie plate can slide from side to side along the rod. The rod is in turn connected to the attachment plate by passing through slots in a pair of flanges protruding from the attachment plate. The rod is secured in such a way that it can slide up or down within slots in the flanges of the attachment plate and is also prevented from rotating or twisting relative to the attachment plate by non-rotation structure associated therewith.
