Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A spout provides an extended sheet of flowing water for a shower nozzle or the like, by employing a single nozzle spaced from a spherically curved shield to create a sheet. The nozzle may have a noncircular cross-section to increase the lateral water flow out of the nozzle to provide a more uniform sheet after the focusing effect of the shield. The lower edge of the shield is sharpened to prevent the attachment of the sheet to the edge such as might cause an undesired spray of water droplets.

Why it's free to use
- Filed November 6, 1992 and granted September 21, 1999. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended November 6, 2012.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by November 6, 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.
