Abstract

A chair is provided which comprises a mounting and latch member which is attached to the the chair arm to form a male assembly section and a female member which is attached to bottom of the seat support structure to provide a female section thereon. The female member has a slot for receiving and holding the mounting member and an attached arm so that the chair arm and the seat support structure are firmly and positively affixed to each other in a manner which also readily permits intentional removal. A resilient latch is resiliently and flexibly joined to the member for engaging the female member in order to prevent the male section from being withdrawn from the slot of the female member until the latch is disengaged.
