Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A grooved, void-volume belt for use on a long nip press for dewatering a fibrous web may be manufactured by winding a grooved strip or ribbon of polymeric material onto a standard LNP belt in the form of a closed helix and by attaching the, grooved strip to the belt by suitable means. The strip may be extruded from a polymeric material, such as polyurethane and, is provided with at least one longitudinal groove. The method enables one to manufacture a grooved, void-volume belt without the prior necessity of coating both sides of a base fabric with a polymeric material, and of cutting grooves in the coating on the outer side of the belt.

Why it's free to use
- Filed April 30, 1992 and granted November 18, 1997. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended April 30, 2012.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by April 30, 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.
