The invention concerns a screening rake for removing solids from flowing sewage, the rake having a driven screening belt which can be immersed in the sewage and which has two lateral chains. A group of screening elements fitted with hooks is mounted on each of two support rods independently of the preceding and following group of screening elements. The screening elements in each group have extension pieces which project beyond the two associated support rods in the direction of travel of the screening belt and in the opposite direction. The extension pieces of successive groups of screening elements engage with each other like the teeth of a comb.

Why it's free to use
- Filed January 29, 1992 and granted April 6, 1999. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended January 29, 2012.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by January 29, 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.
