Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
An electric motor brush subassembly includes a housing base, a housing cover, a brush and a constant, force spring. The brush is mounted between the housing base and the cover with the coil of the spring mounted adjacent to the outer end of the brush. The axis of the coil is disposed at a right angle with respect to the length of the brush and an unrolled spring segment extends along a side of the brush and is fixed in a slot in the cover. The spring exerts a force against the brush to bias the brush against the motor commutator.

Why it's free to use
- Filed May 11, 1993 and granted July 30, 2002. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended May 11, 2013.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 11, 2015.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
