Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
In electrical terminals it is sometimes necessary to insert two wires into a contact adapted for insulation displacement connection and to do so successfully the wires must enter the wire receiving slot sequentially. A wire receiving opening aligned with the wire receiving slot should have a generally circular opening to readily receive the wires but when the wires are forced in the direction of the wire receiving slot a semi-circular concavity communicating with the opening and positioned on the side of the opening opposite the slot will receive one wire to feed the wires sequentially.

Why it's free to use
- Filed January 4, 1990 and granted April 10, 2001. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended January 4, 2010.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by January 4, 2012.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
