Abstract:
A device for coupling at least two floor-mats together on a floor-surface is disclosed herein. The device includes a plate, a first mat fastener, and a second mat fastener. The device is useful for coupling at least two floor-mats together on a floor surface. In a preferred embodiment, the first mat fastener and the second mat fastener may be screws and the screws may be configured to penetrate a thickness of the at least two-floor mats to couple the at least two-floor mats together.

Claim (Index 18):
A method for coupling at least two floor-mats together on a floor-surface, the at least two floor-mats each including a top-surface and a bottom-surface relative the floor-surface, and further including a thickness defined by the top-surface and the bottom-surface, the method comprising the steps of:\n providing a device including\n a plate having a flat top-surface and a flat bottom-surface relative the floor-surface, the bottom-surface being configured to rest upon the floor-surface, and the top-surface being configured to rest below each bottom-surface of the at least two floor-mats, \n a first mat fastener configured to fasten to the plate and to a first mat of the at least two floor mats, and \n a second mat fastener configured to fasten to the plate and to a second mat of the at least two floor mats; \n resting the bottom-surface of the plate upon the floor-surface, the plate having the first mat fastener and the second mat fastener fastened thereto; fastening the first mat fastener to the bottom-surface of the first mat; and fastening the second mat fastener to the bottom-surface of the second mat.
