Abstract
A non-slip removable spacer for holding a workpiece in place relative to a work surface when interposed therebetween without permanent bonding therebetween. The spacer has a core with generally planar surfaces, with a pair elastomeric coverings applied to the surfaces. Further disclosed is a recessed attachment member in the spacer to receive a spindle element which permits spacers to be connected in a spaced part relationship. The spindle further includes a shelf.

A non-slip removable spacer system for holding a workpiece in place relative to a work surface when interposed therebetween, the system comprising:
- a spacer element comprising:
- a generally rigid core body having upper and lower generally planar surfaces with a peripheral edge to each of the upper and lower generally planar surfaces;
- a gripping surface on each of the upper and lower generally planar surfaces;
- a recessed portion generally centrally located at at least one of the upper and lower generally planar surfaces, and
- a female attachment element in the recessed portion, and
- a linking member, having first and second spaced apart ends, each end including a threaded male attachment element sized to be received in the female attachment element.
A non-slip removable spacer system for holding a workpiece in place relative to a work surface when interposed therebetween, the system comprising:
- a spacer element comprising:
- a generally rigid core body having upper and lower generally planar surfaces with a peripheral edge to each of the upper and lower generally planar surfaces:
- a gripping surface on each of the upper and lower generally planar surfaces:
- a receased portion generally centrally located at at least on of the upper and lower generally planar surfaces, and
- a female attachment element in the recessed portion, and
- a linking number having first and second spacesd apart ends, each end including a male attachment element sized to be received in the female attachment element, wherein the linking member includes an elongated spindle with threaded male attachments at first and second ends and a shelf located between the first and second ends on the spindle, the shelf being generally orthogonal to the elongated spindle, wherein the shelf functions as a stop.
A non-slip spacer system for holding a workpiece in place relative to a work surface when interposed therebetween, comprising:
- at least one spacer body having a generally rigid core body having upper and lower generally planar surfaces with a peripheral edge to each of the upper and lower generally planar surfaces, and having a gripping surface on each of the upper and lower generally planar surfaces, the spacer body comprising:
- a recessed portion generally centrally located at at least one of the upper and lower generally planar surfaces, and
- a female attachment element in the recessed portion;
- and
- a linking member, comprising:
- first and second spaced apart ends, at least one of the first and second ends including a male attachment element sized to be received in the female attachment element;
- the linking member capable of connecting to the at least one spacer body, and
- a shelf interposed on a body of the linking member between the first and second ends, a portion of the shelf extending orthogonally from the body of the linking member and having an outer dimension greater than an outer dimension of the body of the linking member.
