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 D, which is applied onthe inner side of the joint This plate must fit into the re-cess in the side of the rail, as its upper pnrt can not prolectlaterally beyond the head of the rails, or it would interferewithte shegeflanof 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 the chair, as shown in themodel. Frcm 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, toact as bearings for the tongues C C. and serving, also, inpart, to cenfine the plate C. The ends of the tongues arefurnished with vertical s!ot3 to receive keys, which aredriven through them* and corresponding vertical slotsin thechair. The rails and chair are secured to the joint tie bysp
