Abstract
A spacer includes: projections each of which has a frame; multiple standing portions each of which has one end connected to the frame and that stand on the frame; and a standing-end connector that connects other ends of the standing portions, the frames being disposed close to each other such that the projections are connected; and flexible connectors that connect the frames. The projections have a three-dimensional shape. The flexible connectors are elastically deformable. At least either the projections or the flexible connectors have different shapes depending on a part of the spacer.

A spacer comprising:
- a plurality of projections, each of the projections including:
- a frame;
- multiple standing portions, each of the standing portions having one end connected to the frame, and the standing portions standing on the frame;
- and
- a standing-end connector that connects other ends of the standing portions;
- and
- flexible connectors that connect the frames,
- wherein:
- the spacer is configured to form a space through which air flows,
- each of the projections has a three-dimensional shape,
- the frames of the projections are disposed close to each other so as to be connected by the flexible connectors,
- the flexible connectors are elastically deformable,
- the flexible connectors are formed in a curved shape so as to protrude toward the standing-end connector side, and
- the flexible connectors have different levels of flexibility at different parts of the spacer.
