Patent ID: 7555872

Claim:
A method of use for a device for aligning masonry block for use with reinforcing wire having a pair of parallel members connected by a plurality of perpendicular braces, such that each of said plurality of perpendicular braces attaches to each of said pair of parallel members, forming a plurality of joints, and wherein the device has a spacer body having a lateral member and a perpendicular member, said lateral member and a perpendicular member forming a “T” shaped member, wherein said lateral member and a perpendicular member having a base and further wherein said base has two perpendicular grooves formed therein; and an alignment finger, formed on said perpendicular member and extending upward therefrom, comprising the steps of: a) placing a line of masonry block in a desired location, b) preparing a length of the reinforcing wire by the steps of: i) positioning one each of said device on each of said plurality of joints such that one device is aligned with a section of the reinforcing wire such that the perpendicular grooves align with one of the parallel members and one of the plurality of perpendicular braces; and ii) pressing said device onto said reinforcing wire until the one of the parallel members and one of the plurality of perpendicular braces snap into the perpendicular grooves on the device; and c) positioning the prepared length of reinforcing wire on top of said line of masonry block.
