4 . The chair assembly of claim 1 wherein the elongate anchor is L-shaped.
5 . The chair assembly of claim 1 wherein the first opening and the third opening each comprises an elongate opening; and wherein the second opening comprises a circle-shaped opening.
6 . The chair assembly of claim 1 wherein the first and second arm rests, the backboard, and the seat board are hollow.
7 . The chair assembly of claim 1 wherein the first and second arm rests, the backboard, and the seat board comprises a metallic material.
8 . A chair assembly comprising:
first and second arm rests;
a backboard;
a pair of first connection devices coupling the backboard between the first and second arm rests;
a seat board; and
a pair of second connection devices coupling the seat board between the first and second arm rests;
each first connection device comprising
a first L-shaped anchor,
a second transverse anchor, the first L-shaped anchor being canted at an angle less than 15° with respect to the first and second arm rests and the backboard, and
first and second openings opposite to and receiving the first L-shaped anchor and the second transverse anchor for coupling;
each second connection device comprising
a third L-shaped anchor, and
a third opening opposite to and receiving the third L-shaped anchor for coupling.
9 . The chair assembly of claim 8 wherein the second transverse anchor comprises an elongate anchor extending through one of the first and second arm rests and the backboard.
10 . The chair assembly of claim 9 wherein the second transverse anchor comprises a housing coupled to one of the first and second arm rests and the backboard and receiving the elongate anchor.
11 . The chair assembly of claim 9 wherein the first opening and the third opening each comprises an elongate opening, the second opening comprising a circle-shaped opening; and wherein the elongate anchor is L-shaped.
12 . The chair assembly of claim 8 wherein the first and second arm rests, the backboard, and the seat board are hollow.
