Chair with releasably attached covers, especially for a ski lift.

The chair, especially for chair lifts, has paddings (3) fastened to a frame (1) by a connecting element fixed to the supports. A slotted recess (6) is provided in the frame for insertion of the connecting element. The connecting element on one side of the recess is fixed in it by a locking arrangement (10,11), and on the other side is an elastic element which creates a pretensioning force when the connecting element is fitted in the recess and thereby pressing the locking arrangement into the locked position.
