ABSTRACT:
A substrate for chairs formed from a resilient material with molded locator pin(s) to facilitate assembly. The substrate comprises a friction seat and a curled back portion around its perimeter. The friction seat, in conjunction with the curled back surface, afford an improved surface for adhering padding and upholstery thereto. Integrally molded on the back surface of the substrate are locator pin(s) having bracing members molded throughout the circumference thereof. The locator pin(s) further comprise pre-drilled holes defined as conduits. Mounted on the front surface of the substrate are semi-spherical projections having pre-drilled holes. The pre-drilled holes of the semi-spherical projections and the conduits are axially aligned. Fastening means communicate within the conduits and the pre-drilled holes of the semi-spherical projections, thus mounting the substrate to a chair. The semi-spherical projections prevent the fastening means from advancing past the front surface of the substrate, thus obstructing the fastening means from harming the chair's occupant. The semi-spherical projections and locator pin(s) are fixedly mounted to the contoured shaped member, thereby retaining their positions during assembly.
