Abstract of the Disclosure, A blade damper for use in fluid flow control devices having damper blades mounted on an axle and having extension ears mounted at opposite ends of the damper blades. The extension ears are mounted in a 90 degree relationship to the damper blades and are semi-circular at their boundary to allow for rotation with the damper blades. The extension ears prevent fluid leakage through boundary planes perpendicular to the axle when the damper is open thereby providing near linear side blade opening versus fluid flow characteristics.

Why it's free to use
- Filed August 4, 1993. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended August 4, 2013.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by August 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.
