eixo


Explanation:
Eu diria que é isto, já que o texto também faz referência aos "turned posts" e trata dos encostos de cadeira, pelo que li das referências que consultei.
Espero que ajude.

"As cadeiras Windsor estão disponíveis em dois modelos: o "bow-back" e o "comb-back". O estilo bow-back tem o encosto curvado sustentado por eixos. Já o comb-back apresenta um encosto horizontal, também sustentado por pilares."
