TRE-FIX™ is a patent pending fastening system that joins three or more furniture leg components in a trefoil or polyfoil arrangement. TRE-FIX™ enables the rapid assembly of robust structures and furniture from minimal components.

At the core of the preferred TRE-FIX™ fastening system design are three screws embedded in three round tubular components arranged in a trefoil formation. The screws form a triangular central hub that clamps the tubular components together, with clamping forces directed toward the centre of the assembly. This, along with each tubular component being fastened directly to the other two tubular components, forms an exceptionally rigid and durable connection.

Screws in the TRE-FIX™ fastening system screw into threaded holes pierced in the adjoining tubular components. This enables the screws to be entirely contained within the tubular components enhancing safety and aesthetics.

The Tre-fix™ Advantage

Cost

Fewer components and straightforward manufacturing requirements reduce cost.

Rigidity

The triangular bolting arrangement and extended tube-to-tube contact zones enhance structural rigidity.

Durability

Deflection of dimpled bolt holes in the tubes on assembly generates spring load reducing the likelihood the bolts will loosen.

Stability

Having three legs improves the stability of structures and furniture on non-level surfaces.

Ergonomics

The smooth, compact central column formed by the tubes improves legroom under tables.

Safety

Concealed fixings eliminate potential clothing catch points and reduce the potential for injury.

Aesthetics

A distinctive clean look allows differentiation from other products in the market.

Assembly

Fewer components reduce the assembly time required improving the consumer experience.

Flexibility

The fastening system allows for adaptation across a range of products including tables of various sizes, heights, and finishes with minimal retooling.
