Abstract: The locating of structural members disposed within the interstices of a concrete member can be accomplished by employing at least one indicator capable of showing the position of the structural member. The indicator also can show the directional location of the support members. The indicator of the present invention generally connects to a post member. This post member provides vertical support for the indicator system. A clamping assembly is attached to the post member and connects the structural member to the indicator system for fixing the location of the structural member. The clamping system can also identify the location of the structural member, and the indicator can then be provided to show the directional line of the structural member. Typically, the post member is sized to a predetermined length so that the longitudinal dimension of the indicator system corresponds to the thickness of the concrete member.

Abstract: A masonry veneer tie system is provided for connecting a masonry veneer wall, including courses of bricks joined together by mortar material, to a supporting structure. The masonry veneer tie system includes a masonry veneer tie device comprising a masonry veneer tie body and a masonry tie element. The masonry veneer tie body includes means defining an aperture for inserting means for fastening the masonry veneer tie to the supporting structure at a predetermined fastening point. The masonry tie element is provided for connecting the veneer masonry tie device to the masonry wall by attachment within the mortar material. The maximum cross-sectional dimension of the masonry tie element is less than the thickness of the mortar material.
