Abstract From the Canadian patent

A toothed pulley is provided which includes a plurality of grooves alternating with a plurality of teeth. The flank of each groove is joined to the head of the adjacent tooth by means of a connection formed of at least two convex curvilinear segments and a recess. The curvilinear segments are tangent to the end of the flank and to the terminal point of the tooth head delimitated by the outer circumference of the pulley respectively. The pulley engages with a toothed belt which includes a connection between the tooth flank and the adjacent groove, which may be in the form of a parabolic arc.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed November 28, 1989 and granted May 21, 2002. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended November 28, 2009.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by November 28, 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.
