The last men-tioned form is tbe nne shown in tbe drawing. In either casethe lower part of said plate rests partly upon the base of therails, and partly upon theoutside lip of thechair, as ,. Fig. 2 is a view of inside plate I), wbich is applied onthe inner side of tbe joint This plate must fit into the re-cess in the side of the rail, as its upper part can not projectlaterally beyend the head of the rails, or it would interferewithteshegeflanof the wheels. its lower part, like thelower part of plate C, rests partly upon the base of the rails,and partly upon the inside lip of tbe chair, as shown in themodel. From the inner side of this plate, projects twostrong horizontal tongues C C, which pass through slots inthe ends of the rails, and corresponding ones in the outsideplate C. These tongues rest upon projections, which areprovided on the chair to stand up outside of the plate C, toacta3 hearings for the tongues C C, and serving, also,inpart, to confine the plate C. The ends of the tongues arefurnished with vertical slots to receive keys, which arfidriven through them-, and corresponding vertical slotsin thechair. The rails and chair are secured to the joint tie bysp
