In the case of pens used for laying like tiles, they are generally arranged in an orderly manner. If the arrangement is disturbed, in addition to impairing the aesthetic appearance, the support of the object on top may be insufficient, and the device may tilt or fall.

[0005] There is a case where a person walks on such a bed of pens. In that case, it is desired to prevent rattling. In addition, it is also desirable to prevent a person from jumping or shifting when there is a person.
In addition, it is necessary to prevent the child from being displaced, creating a gap, and preventing a person from tripping or pinching the sole of the foot.

[0006] For this purpose, conventionally, it has been considered to connect and fix another adjacent lantern on the back side. For example,
It is conceivable to attach a board that extends over the face plate of the other adjacent oyster to the back side of the adjacent end with a screw or the like.

[0007] However, in this technique, work must be performed on the back side of the pen, and the work becomes difficult after paving. Therefore, a certain number of sheets must be connected together. Also, when replacing or increasing or decreasing a part of the cage, it is necessary to turn over all the connected cages and perform the removal work, the attachment work, and the like. Therefore, there is a problem that it takes time and effort.

It has also been considered that the joists are arranged along the peripheral edge of the surface plate to form a frame structure, and adjacent frames of the shirako are connected to each other by screws or the like.

[0009] However, in this technique, as in the above-described technique, the connecting operation must be performed by turning over the bed. Therefore, connection is troublesome, and operations such as replacement and increase / decrease are not easy.

An object of the present invention is to provide a cage unit which can easily connect and disconnect a plurality of cage units, and a connector used for the unit.

[0011]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided, in accordance with a first aspect of the present invention, a method of connecting a cage with a joist and a surface plate to connect the cage with another adjacent cage.
