Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A high frequency thermode-driven device for use in hotbar soldering is disclosed. The device has a unitary metal support frame which is used for the secondaries of four individual transformers. The support frame also serves as the structural member to which the transformer and thermodes themselves are fastened. This is possible because the secondaries require only one turn; the upstanding ears of projections which extend radially outwardly from the support frame so as to protrude through the apertures in the transformer cores provide a source of voltage and become a secondary winding when connected to a load impedance, such as a thermode.

Why it's free to use
- Filed August 15, 1990. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended August 15, 2010.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by August 15, 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.
