The list men-tioned form is the one shown in the drawing. In either casethe lower part of said plate rests partly upon the base of therails, and partly upon theoutside lip of the chair, as shownin Fig. 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 part can not protectlaterally beyond the head of the rails, jr it would interferewithte shegeHanof the wheels. its lower part, like thelower part of plate C, rests partly upon the base of the railB,and partly upon the inside lip of the 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 toneues rest upon projections, which areprovided on the chair to stand up outside of the plate C, toact as hearings for the tongues C C. and serving, also, inpart, to cenfine the plate 0. The ends of the tongues arefurnished with vertical slots to receive keys, which aredriven through them, and corresponding vertical slots in thflchair.
