Inventors include K. Shweatha; Dr. S. Hanish Anand; Dr. A. Tamilarasan; and Dr Ramya Mohan.

The application for the patent was published on October 30, 2026, under issue no. 44/2026.

Abstract: The utility patent titled "Tr-Balance Chair" discloses a modern three-legged wooden seating system inspired by the traditional Tamil wedding manai (three-legged ceremonial stool), applying the geometric stability principle of a three-point base to a contemporary upholstered chair form. The invention addresses five documented limitations of conventional four-legged chair designs: excess material use in the leg assembly, geometric over-constraint on uneven floors, limited aesthetic differentiation, high machining complexity in angular frame joints, and poor load distribution visibility. The Tr-Balance Chair integrates four functional innovations: (1) a three-point base geometry providing inherent static stability on any surface without rocking; (2) an angled wooden frame of Steam beech (75 mm) or optimised Chemically Treated Rubb.erwood (1 CFT) that provides ergonomic backrest inclination; (3) trapezium-profile arm rails that distribute lateral loads across the seat-to- backrest joint and provide a signature visual identity; and (4) a 60 mm High- Density PU foam seat and backrest cushion system upholstered in Premium Leatherette. The system is manufactured at an original material COGS of Z2,790.5, with an optimised redesign reducing material cost to Z1,835.6 through Rubberwood substitution and industrial glue rationalisation. Total unit COGS including overhead, transport, and labour is Z3,465 (original) and Z2,510.6 (optimised), with a retail price of Z7,688.71 and a development budget break-even of 36 units.
