Abstract

A mechanism for releasably mounting a chair back to a back support member comprises a connecting pin secured to the support member, and a receiver member secured to the chair back and receiving the connecting pin. The connecting pin is slidable and pivotable with respect to the receiver member along a longitudinal axis of the connecting pin between a locked position in which the chair back is joined to the chair support member, and a release position in which the chair back is separable from the chair support member. A locking bar is slidable into engagement with the receiver member for establishing the locked position, and is disengageable from the receiver member to enable movement of the chair back to the release position.
