ABSTRACT:
A chair having a unitary metal frame of the so-called runner type wherein there is along each side a runner joining the bottom of the front and rear legs of such respective side of the chair, the frame being fabricated from a length of metal rod, tube or the like, the opposite ends of the length of metal being welded or otherwise permanently secured. This continuous loop of metal is shaped to provide the chair frame comprising spaced apart sides of the back and seat, the front legs, runners, and rear legs respectively and also transverse connecting reaches between the top of the sides of the back and the top of the rear legs of the chair. Reinforcing cross-pieces join the spaced apart sides of the frame near the top of the front legs and in the area where the bottom of the back joins the rear of the seat, the latter cross-piece being in juxtaposed and initially spaced relation but releasably fastenable to the transverse connecting reach between the top of the rear legs to strengthen and rigidify the chair frame against sway and twist. While the open gap or passage between the juxtaposed and spaced cross-piece and reach is unobstructed, a replaceable upholstery sleeve with one open end is applied over the back of the chair frame, extended to the front of the seat and down over the front legs to the above first-mentioned frame-reinforcing cross-piece where a flap which may be provided along one edge of the open end of the sleeve can be passed under the adjacent frame-reinforcing cross-piece and secured as by a separable fastener to the opposite edge of the open end of the sleeve, then the juxtaposed cross-piece and reach are releasably fastened capturing the upholstery sleeve against displacement.
