A seat arrangement includes a backrest frame and a base frame with the backrest frame connectable, adjacent the lower extent of each of opposite sides thereof, to respective mounting that facilitate pivotable mounting of the backrest frame to the base frame. Each mounting includes a respective load dispersing member and the backrest frame is connected to the mounting by fasteners inserted laterally of the frame, through the frame and the load dispersing member of the mounting. The fasteners draw each load dispersing member into a respective recess defined by the backrest frame, with each recess having a form complementary to the load dispersing member to define respective base surfaces through which the fasteners extend, and opposing side surfaces. The fasteners, in fastening the backrest frame to the mounting, cause each load dispersing member to be clamped in the respective recess whereby respective adjacent side surfaces of the recess and the load dispersing member are urged into surface to surface contact.

Seat backrest mounting

A seat backrest frame ( ) having an integrally formed rigid peripheral frame structure which, relative to an in-use orientation, has a plurality of frame portions, namely a pair of side portions ( ) and transverse portions ( and ). Each of the frame portions ( and ) has an elongate channel form defined by respective side flanges ( ), and an interconnecting web ( ). Each web ( ) being disposed forwardly of the frame structure with the channel of each frame portion opening rearwardly. Each side portion ( ) defines a forwardly projecting wing ( ) over at least the lower half of its length, such that the depth of each side portion channel in at least the region of the wing ( ) is substantially greater than the depth of the channels of the transverse portions ( and ).
