Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A scissors jack which has improved formed gear teeth which allow a jack to be retracted to a very low profile so that it can be placed under the vehicles. The teeth of the lower pivot arms are formed so as to extend one direction and the teeth of the upper pivot arms are formed so as to extend in the opposite direction from the teeth of the lower pivot arms so that when the jack is in the down position the gear teeth on the upper and lower pivot arms can pass each other and thus allow the jack to have a very low contour.

Why it's free to use
- Filed October 28, 1991 and granted January 5, 1999. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended October 28, 2011.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by October 28, 2013.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
