A resistor grid for dynamic braking of diesel electric locomotives has a rigid frame comprising outer metal side pieces and metal dividers within the frame between which are positioned columns of fan-folded resistor ribbon. The dividers carry support plates having transverse aligned tabs along both sides fixed normal to the support plate, each tab having a notch in its inside edge, and supported plates for the resistor ribbon which slide in those slots longitudinally. The supported plates and the folds of the resistor ribbon carry studs and bushings which interfit by movement normal to those plates.

Why it's free to use
- Filed April 24, 1992. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended April 24, 2012.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by April 24, 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.
