10-, Abstract, An ink distributor roll is made of base rubber and two soft rubber helixes. When the ink distributor roll is used adjacent another roll, the soft rubber helixes deform to form pockets between the ink distributor roll and the other roll. The pockets move ink from the end portions of the ink distributor roll toward the center portion of the roll to prevent a buildup of ink at the end portions of the roll.

Why it's free to use
- Filed October 19, 1990 and granted September 20, 1994. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended October 19, 2010.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by October 19, 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.
