Abstract: A spacer is provided that includes at least one rail of plastic, steel, rebar, or the like that runs along a top surface of a modular construction material such as a brick or block. At least one transverse rail is connected to the length-running rail. The transverse rail is also constructed of plastic, steel, rebar, or the like and runs width-wise along the top surface of the brick/block. Connected to the rails is a number of spacing studs that define a desired mortar depth. The spacing studs may include removable clips that are configured to engage the rails. Accordingly, the clips have a height equal to the desired mortar depth. The present invention may alternatively include a kit comprising the rails, clips, and bricks/blocks.

Abstract: A clamping hanger for slidably coupling a shower curtain to a hanging rod. The hanger comprises a sliding connector portion adapted for slidable coupling to and along a rod. The sliding connector portion is a loop with a predetermined body width, and a predetermined body length. The body forms a central cylindrical region, having a longitudinal axis, and the rod is operatively disposed in the cylindrical region. A clamping connector portion is unitarily constructed with the sliding connector portion, and adapted for engaging a sheet. The clamping connector has first and second mating portions between which a portion of the sheet is disposed in operation. The clamping connector portion extends radially away, a predetermined distance from the sliding connector portion. The first and second mating portions have a mating face. The mating faces of the mating portions have at least two mating elements having predetermined complementary geometries.
