Abstract

A spacer for laying tiles, bricks and the like with the interposition of gaps includes a plate-like body open internally with at least one spacing protrusion that protrudes outward from the body and defines the width of a respective gap. At least one first spacing protrusion protrudes outwardly and from at least one of the two opposite faces of the body along an arrangement that is perpendicular to the arrangement of the body.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A spacer for laying tiles, bricks and the like with the interposition of gaps, the spacer comprising: a body being open internally with at least one spacing protrusion that protrudes outward from said body and defines a width of a respective gap, wherein at least one first spacing protrusion protrudes outwardly and from at least one of two opposite faces of said body along an arrangement that is perpendicular to the arrangement of said body; wherein three first spacing protrusions protrude from both of the opposite faces of said body, two of the three first spacing protrusions protrude in a diametrically opposite position and one of the three first spacing protrusions protrudes in a direction perpendicular to the preceding protrusions; and wherein four first spacing protrusions are arranged at 90° to each other, three of the four first spacing protrusions protrude from both of the opposite faces of said body and one of the four first spacing protrusions protrudes only from one of the two opposite faces.

2. The spacer according to claim 1 , wherein at least one second spacing protrusion is substantially constituted by a tooth that protrudes radially in a cantilever fashion from an external perimeter of said body, along the same arrangement as said body.

3. The spacer according to claim 1 , wherein said body has at least one flat portion for placing on tiles which protrudes on its opposite faces.

4. The spacer according to claim 3 , wherein said flat portion is perimetric.
