Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A compressor assembly is disclosed including a compressor mechanism, mounted within a hermetically sealed housing. A cylinder block contains a plurality of reciprocating pistons within compression chambers. The compression chambers include a discharge valve which permits compressed refrigerant to empty into the common discharge chamber. A baffle system is included within the common discharge muffler chamber to eliminate pressure pulses and cross talk between discharge valve assemblies, thereby increasing the discharge valve opening speed and correspondingly increasing the compressor efficiency.

Why it's free to use
- Filed June 4, 1993 and granted June 3, 1997. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended June 4, 2013.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by June 4, 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.
