Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
An injection molding heated manifold having a melt passage with a longitudinal portion to convey melt from a molding machine to a number of different nozzles. The steel manifold has a pair of cooling bores extending parallel to and equally spaced on opposite sides of the longitudinal portion of the melt channel. A cooling fluid, such as air, flows through the cooling bores to quickly cool the manifold after the system is shut down to minimize deterioration of the melt in the melt channel. The air flows helically around spiral vanes which are mounted in the cooling bores to avoid temperature stratification along the melt passage.

Why it's free to use
- Filed February 27, 1990 and granted March 11, 1997. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended February 27, 2010.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by February 27, 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.
