Closet flange spacer

Abstract

In one aspect of the subject invention, a spacer is provided for supporting a closet flange above a sub-flooring, the closet flange having a pipe section and an annular flange extending radially outwardly from the pipe section. The spacer includes a disc-shaped body having spaced apart first and second faces, and spaced apart inner and outer edges extending between the first and second faces. The inner edge defines an opening extending through the body, the opening sized to permit passage therethrough of the pipe section of the closet flange but not the annular flange of the closet flange. A plurality of equally spaced notches being formed in the outer edge. Advantageously, with the subject invention, a spacer is provided usable with a closet flange to provide elevation thereof.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A spacer for supporting a closet flange above a sub-flooring, the closet flange having a pipe section and an annular flange extending radially outwardly from the pipe section, said spacer comprising:
 a disc-shaped body having spaced apart first and second faces, and spaced apart inner and outer edges extending between said first and second faces, said inner edge defining an opening extending through said body, said opening sized to permit passage therethrough of the pipe section of the closet flange but not the annular flange of the closet flange, wherein first, second, third and fourth notches being formed in said outer edge, said first, second, third and fourth notches being equally spaced about said outer edge.   
     
     
         2 . A spacer as in  claim 1 , wherein said first and second notches being disposed along a first straight axis generally coinciding with a center of said body. 
     
     
         3 . A spacer as in  claim 2 , wherein said third and fourth notches being disposed along a second straight axis generally coinciding with a center of said body. 
     
     
         4 . A spacer as in  claim 3 , wherein said first straight axis is disposed generally perpendicularly to said second straight axis.
