This invention describes a metal channel designed to be attached to a building's main structure, like a wall. It has a specific shape with one wall sticking straight out and another parallel to it, forming a slot. This channel is meant to hold a separate piece, called a key, which then connects to the outer brick or stone layer, securing it to the building. The claims specifically detail the anchor channel itself, including its shape, the presence of fastener holes, and a minimum length of one inch.
Why it matters: Advances in material science and manufacturing precision since 2004 could allow for more durable or cost-effective production of this specific channel design, potentially improving its competitive edge.
