Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
This invention pertains to a discharge restrictor secured to the lower end region of impingement members installed in the flue gas path of a circulating fluidized bed boiler. The discharge restrictor incorporates a pivotable baffle plate that prevents the flue gas from bypassing the impingement members yet allows the particles that are collected to gather in an adjacent storage hopper. The baffle plate is normally biased to block access to the storage hopper until a sufficient mass of particles collect on the baffle plate thereby overcoming this bias. In doing so the plate temporarily pivots to the open position enabling the particles to advance towards the storage hopper.

Why it's free to use
- Filed October 10, 1989 and granted July 6, 1993. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended October 10, 2009.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by October 10, 2011.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
