Abstract
The present invention relates to a fitting system to be used to connect floor modules, such as the fitting method and disengaging method. The system comprises two elements, a female element and a male element, connected to floor modules and interconnecting to each other. The female element comprises a body of the female, at least one ramp and at least one tongue, resting on the plate of the female. The male element comprises a body of the male and a fitting element comprising a plate of the male, sidewalls, a rim, at least one groove delimited by groove walls, and at least one slider. The system features double locking, which prevents the elements from making movements in any vertical or horizontal direction.
