ABSTRACT:
A wasted spacer member for spacing construction blocks in a wall formed therefrom, and particularly suited for glass bricks, comprising a pair of parallel cross-shaped or T-shaped positioning elements joined by a length adjustable connecting element including a pair of overlapping elongate connecting bars formed on the inner sides of respective positioning elements and extending perpendicularly therefrom. Each connecting bar has parallel inner and outer sides aligned parallel with a vertical direction, with the inner sides of each connecting bar being mutually abutting along the outer portions thereof. A set of aperture holes are formed at predetermined positions along a first connecting bar, and a cooperating pair of correspondingly spaced, protruding securing buttons are formed along a second connecting bar. The pair of securing buttons on the second connecting bar are engageable with a selected adjacent pair of aperture holes on the first connecting bar to correspondingly adjust the length of the spacer member so as to accommodate bricks of varying thickness. A pair of disc-shaped elements are formed on the outer side of each respective positioning element and are connected therewith via a frangible tapering projection.
