A spacer for fixation to a construction element, for maintaining a relative distance to another construction element, and for restricting at the maintained distance a movement about a position that is relative to another construction element, the spacer having a structure that:
- a) provides resiliency and generates a force for enhancing a distance relative to another nearby construction element when distance to that other construction element is reduced to a predetermined distance, and
- b) provides restriction of a movement of the structure in at least one direction that is different from the direction of predetermined distance, wherein the spacer is configured such that in use of the spacer the force for enhancing a distance to that other construction element is predominantly directed across the direction of gravity, wherein the structure is provided with a plurality of resilient elements and a plurality of restrictors for restricting the movement, wherein the resilient elements and the restrictors are each spacially separated different parts of the structure and have positions in the structure which alternate each other along a dimension of the structure.
