(54) Brickwork support system


(57) A brickwork support system for supporting brickwork cladding comprises a bracket (1,21) and a support member (2,22). The bracket (1,21) is attached through a fixing aperture (4,24) to a bolt extending from a cast-in channel member on a concrete wall. The bracket has a web portion (5,25) which contacts the concrete wall and two outwardly extending flanges (6,26). The flanges (6,26) are each provided with a substantially L-shaped slot (7,27) which receives a corresponding portion of the support member (2,22). The support member is provided with a load bearing projection (17,31) which engages and supports the brick cladding. The arrangement of the slots (7,27) and support member (2,22) allows relative longitudinal sliding movement of the support member (2,22) and bracket (1,21) but prevents relative lateral horizontal movement, vertical movement and relative rotation of the two components.
