Abstract
The invention relates to a spacer for keeping a wall connection-side joint free, for example when laying a rigid floor covering, comprising a spacer element (2, 2.1) with a thickness, which corresponds to the width of the joint to be kept free, and an angle bracket (3, 3.1) with a strip-shaped holding limb (4, 4.1) and a holding shaft (5, 5.1) which is connected to the holding limb (4, 4.1) at the end thereof and which protrudes from the holding limb (3, 3.1). A bore (7) which extends in the vertical direction of the spacer element and into which the holding shaft (5, 5.1) engages is introduced into the spacer element (2, 2.1).

A spacer for keeping clear a gap on a wall-connection side when installing a rigid floor covering, comprising:
- a spacer element with a thickness equaling a width of the gap to be kept clear, and
- a bracket with a strip-shaped support shank for reaching under the installed floor covering, whose width is less than the gap, and with a support shaft connected at one end of the support shank and projecting from the support shank,
- wherein the spacer element has a drill hole extending in a vertical direction, into which drill hole the support shaft extends, and
- wherein the spacer element and the bracket are detachable from one another, or an end section of the support shaft opposite the support shank has a rotary drive contour.
