Abstract
A floor element suitable for connection to other elements in a floor system. The floor element includes a body, a female connector, and a retainer. The body defines a connector surface that is horizontal in use. The female connector includes a connector recess adapted to receive a male connector and also defines a connector opening in the connector surface. The retainer is connectable to the body such that, when connected to the body, the retainer is movable between an open position and a closed position. When in the closed position, the retainer is arranged to restrict movement of the male connector to prevent the male connector from exiting the connector recess through the connector opening. When in the open position, the retainer does not restrict movement of the male connector, thereby allowing the male connector to exit the connector recess through the connector opening.
