Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A seat assembly is provided for a lawn and garden tractor wherein a fuel tank is an integral component of the seat. A plastic fuel tank is sandwiched between an inner and an outer seat shell to provide a fuel tank which is easily accessible for maintenance and/or replacement. A fuel inlet is provided at the top portion of the seat back facilitating easy and convenient refueling of the tank. The elevated position of the fuel tank provides a head of fuel for vehicles not equipped with fuel pumps, reducing the likelihood of starvation as the vehicle is operated on hillsides and inclines.

Why it's free to use
- Filed May 29, 1992 and granted August 16, 1994. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended May 29, 2012.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 29, 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.
