male or tenon member of the fastening is, in its simplest form, an annular segment, 0, which is sunk into a corresponding annular groove or cavityin the side of the rail, from whose end the portions e and f project to form the tenons.

Where intended for use in conjunction with a common two-hole mortise-plate both projections may have the same hooked or dovetailed form as the upper one here shown, and may be strengthened by a brace or cord-piece, so as to have the form of the letter D.

While described and chiefly intended for the tenon portion, the device is manifestly applicable for the mortise portion ormember of a bedstead-fastener.
