Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A detection piece is held movably, and the size of recording paper being accommodated in a cassette case is detected in correspondence with a positional pattern of a detecting tongue provided on the detection piece. Even in cases where the number of paper sizes to be detected is large, the apparatus is capable of coping with that detection without an increase in the number of detection pieces, and contributes to the simplification of the mounting and demounting operation of the detection piece prevention of loss or erroneous mounting of the detection piece, and so on.

Why it's free to use
- Filed December 13, 1990 and granted December 13, 1994. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended December 13, 2010.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by December 13, 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.
