The same patent seems to be online at http://www.freepatentsonline.com/EP1233127.html . If you create an account, you can see the images. I think it is a bushing, which is "a metal lining inserted in a hole, pipe etc. to reduce its size" according to the dictionary. References missing.

agree  Tony M: Certainly one plausible possibility / I think it all depends on its FUNCTION; I would see it acting more as a 'spacer' than anything else

protection frame


Explanation:
According to Littré and Larousse (both), une garniture is "un dispositif ou matière formant un joint hermétique auour d divers organes" (Lar),or " garnitures métalliques, en cuir ou en caoutchouc, destinées à protéger ou renforcer divers objets" (Lit). I do not think it has any relation with a side plate.

disagree  Tony M: There is nothing in either of the definitions you cite to suggest the translation 'protection frame', which in any case, is a pretty unlikely thing to find in a lock.
