Patent attributes
A releasable securing assembly for attaching first and second sections of a chair to one another is disclosed. The first chair section includes a receiver having a capture portion spaced from a collar portion. The collar and capture portions include a passage and a bore, respectively, that are aligned with each other. A locking member having a locking passage, can be positioned between the capture and collar portions of the receiver so that the passage, the locking passage, and the bore are aligned. A second chair section includes at least one outwardly extending shaft having a cross pin disposed on an end thereof. The shaft and cross pin are inserted through the collar portion and cooperate with the locking member so that the locking member may be rotated to engage a locking surface of the locking member with the cross pin, selectively locking the first and second chair sections together.
