Definitions

  • a single frame structure having an integral seat and back portion.
  • This frame is designed to be rigidly supported on a standard.
  • These frames are secured to the common standard at spaced intervals.
  • Each of the frames is identical.
  • Each of the frames has a pair of cover plates which, in the case of the seat portion, forms the top surface of the frame and in the case of the back portion forms the front face of the frame.
  • the cover plate for the back portion has an integral, forwardly projecting support for an arm rest.
  • the pads are first mounted by seating the grommets 64 over the stud pins 32. This anchors the pads to the frames. When the frame is an end one, only a single pad is secured as shown by FIG. 7. Where two of the pads are mounted to a single frame, both pads are mounted over the same stud pins 32, one on top of the other, as suggested in FIG. 11.
  • the cover members 20 and 40 are then secured, first by hooking their outer ends over the ends of the frames and pivoting them into position. They are then drawn down tightly into clamping position by tightening the cap screw 29 in the case of the cover member 26 and the cap screw 4-9 in the case of the cover member 40. In this process, the hooks 21 and 41 act as hinges.
