Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A fluid pressure braking system for a vehicle having service brakes and spring activated parking brakes includes electropneumatic activators for effecting and holding a limited service brake application while the driver leaves the vehicle to make a route pick-up. Accordingly the spring brakes are not used during route pick-ups thereby increasing the life of the spring actuator since it is not repeatedly cycled. An electropneumatic interlock automatically effects a parking brake application if the vehicle ignition is switched off while an electropneumatic service actuation is effected.

Why it's free to use
- Filed July 6, 1990. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended July 6, 2010.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by July 6, 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.
