Abstract From the Canadian patent

The invention relates to a contact for an electrical contactor protected by a polymer film and to its production process. This contact (3 or 7) has a contact resistance of at the most 10 ohms and incorporates a base metal coated by a 5 to 500 nm homo-, geneous, adhesive organic polymer film. The polymer film can be deposited by the electropolymerization of a monomer such as acrylonitrile, followed by a heat treatment or irradiation to improve its electrical conductivity, so that a contact resistance not exceeding 10 ohms is obtained.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed February 5, 1992 and granted January 15, 2002. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended February 5, 2012.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by February 5, 2014.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
