Abstract

An assembly for affixing an arm pad to an arm rest of the chair without using a visible fastener and without the need to fashion a hole in the arm rest. The assembly comprises two shells which fit on the arm rest which have a variety of latching projections. An insert molded within a resilient arm pad has a corresponding variety of ports. Shells are fitted onto the arm rest. Upon pressing the insert within the arm pad against the shells, the projections on the shells latch the corresponding ports in the insert within the arm pad.
