The flexible track elements have a pair of cylindrical longitudinally extending track members supported by a flexible base. The roller members or wheels have a generally U-shaped external contour which encompasses the track elements and prevents derailing of the storage units.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed June 30, 1994 and granted April 4, 2000. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended June 30, 2014.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by June 30, 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.
