Bartenura
שניטלו חפויו. לשון חפי פותחת, כמין שינים יוצאים מכל צד בכסא של כלה, ועשויין כדי שיסמכו עליהן:
בית שמאי מטמאין. דאכתי חזי לישיבה:
ובית הלל מטהרין. דלא חזי לכלה, והוי כנשבר:
אף מלבן הכסא טמא. כלומר, אף מלבן הכסא בפני עצמו בלא הכסא ובלא חפויו טמא, כל שכן שהכסא בלא חפויו טמא. מלבן, צורת לבינה מרובעת עושים על הכסא ויושבים עליו:
כסא שקבעו בעריבה. הביא כסא ממקום אחר וקבעו בעריבה דרך ישיבתו. ועריבה אינה טמאה מדרס, דחזיא ללישה:
בית שמאי מטמאין. דלא בטל כסא לגבי עריבה:
ובית הלל מטהרין. ממדרס דבטל כסא לגבי עריבה. אבל כסא העשוי בעריבה עצמה מודו בית שמאי לבית הלל דטהור:
ושמאי אומר. אף כסא העשוי בעריבה עצמה טמא מדרס:

Mishnayos Keilim Perek 22 Mishnah 5
כלים פרק כ"ב משנה ה׳
Bartenura
כסא שלא היו חפויו יוצאין – that the boards/planks do not protrude outside of the chair. That the chair is made from four [pieces of] wood and planks fixed from three directions of the chair stands high under the wood that is fastened with each other, and from above the wood, tablets are made to sit upon them. But if the tablets are broken that are made for sitting, one can tip the chair to each side that one wishes and to sit upon those boards that are affixed from the three sides of the chair, but when they protrude outward, he is not able to tip it on its side. And the covers/seat boards mentioned here are not like the covers/seat boards mentioned in the first part of the Mishnah, for they are like protruding teeth, but rather for the boards that cover the wood are called חפויו/upholstered seat.
כסא שלא היו חפויו יוצאים. שאין הנסרים בולטים חוץ מן הכסא. שהכסא עשוי מארבע עצים ונסרים קבועין משלש רוחות הכסא עומדין גבוהים תחת העצים מהודקים זה אצל זה, וממעל לעצים לוחות עשויין לישב עליהן. ואם נשברו הלוחות העשויות למושב, יכול להטות הכסא לכל צד שירצה ולישב על אותן הנסרים הקבועים בשלש רוחות של כסא, אבל כשהן בולטים לחוץ אינו יכול להטותו על צדו. וחפויו דהכא לאו כחפויו דרישא שהן כמו שינים בולטים, אלא לנסרים שמחפין העצים קרי חפויו:

After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah.
