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, toact as hearings for the tongues C C. and serving, also,inpart, to cenfine the plate C.
