Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Fault gas seals to prevent the ejection of a surge arrester from a loadbreak bushing due to the generation of such gas in response to the failure of arrester devices in such surge arrester. A metal O-ring support is bonded to the conductive insert of the arrester housing or added as a retrofit to such housing. Annular grooves in the loadbreak probe are fitted with O-rings which are compressed against the support to provide a gas-tight passage along the probe surface. An additional annular groove can be used to receive a fastener to hold the retrofit in position.

Why it's free to use
- Filed September 25, 1992 and granted May 19, 1998. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended September 25, 2012.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by September 25, 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.
