  When a metal is used for the connecting member, the slatted floor mat generates a metal sound every time the mat is stepped on after construction, and the value of the mat as a luxurious and heavy feeling is lowered.

  When a synthetic resin member is used for the connecting member, the metal sound does not exist and a smooth connection is realized. However, a square shape is formed based on a large thermal expansion and contraction due to temperature and an error in cutting the connecting member during manufacturing. Sometimes loosened and became diamond-shaped. When the shape of the slatted floor mat using the connecting member made of the synthetic resin member is lost, the quality of the slatted floor mat is poor, and there is a problem that it cannot be used in a first-class building.

  A mat with a luxurious feeling is not a standard product, but is often produced on order, requiring high quality and quick delivery. Therefore, in the slatted floor mat, it is necessary to ensure that the rectangular shape can be maintained even when the connecting member is cut by eye.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention is a luxurious heavy-duty material that keeps a square shape and does not make a sound when stepped on, even if parts that are slightly different in length are mixed together by cutting the connecting member by eye. An object of the present invention is to provide a connecting member fixing method for a slatted floor mat and a connecting member fixing device for a slatted floor mat having both the feeling and the functionality of a metal mat.
