כִּסֵּא שֶׁנִּטְּלוּ שְׁנַיִם מֵחִפּוּיָו זֶה בְצַד זֶה, רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא מְטַמֵּא, וַחֲכָמִים מְטַהֲרִין. אָמַר רַבִּי יְהוּדָה, אַף כִּסֵּא שֶׁל כַּלָּה שֶׁנִּטְּלוּ חִפּוּיָו וְנִשְׁתַּיֵּר בּוֹ בֵית קַבָּלָה, טָהוֹר, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁבָּטַל הָעִקָּר וּבָטְלָה הַטְּפֵלָה:

A chair from which two adjoining seat boards were removed - Rabbi Akiva says: it is susceptible to impurity; and the Sages say that it is pure. Rabbi Yehudah said: so too the seat boards of a bride's chair which were removed and a receptacle remained - it is clean, because when the primary function is annulled, the secondary one is also annulled.
