Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A roaster for coffee beans or the like admits the beans into a roasting air stream (31, 23 32) at an air, stream entrance (24). The air stream transports the beans from entrance (24) in an air stream path (26 36), to an altitude (36) from where they are directed to return to entrance (24) by falling into a hopper having side wall (13, 14) and a constriction (22) which controls the rate of admission of the beans into the air stream. In preferred embodiments the beans are admitted into a horizontal air stream with a component of velocity in the air flow direction and roasting air is also admitted to the hopper directly (46) or indirectly (44, 45) via wall perforations (19, 20).

Why it's free to use
- Filed December 20, 1989. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended December 20, 2009.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by December 20, 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.
