Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Valve gated injection molding apparatus wherein the reciprocating valve member extends into the melt passage through a sealing bushing. The sealing bushing has a thin steel collar portion which extends forwardly into the melt passage and fits around the valve member to form a seal against leakage of melt rearwardly along the valve member. In the preferred embodiments, the collar portion is thin enough that it is slightly compressed around the valve member by the pressure of the surrounding melt in the melt passage to improve the seal.

Why it's free to use
- Filed February 14, 1994 and granted February 12, 2002. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended February 14, 2014.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by February 14, 2016.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
