Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A movable control console for an agricultural tractor is disclosed wherein the console is movable independently of the operator's seat to position the operative controls at the convenience of the operator. The orientation of the console is controlled by a guide assembly supported from the tractor chassis. The guide assembly is provided with non-linear slots cooperable with guide members on the console to rotate the console clockwise as it is moved rearwardly to mimic the rotation of the operator's seat to an implement operating position. Foreand-aft movement of the console is effected by an electric actuator controlled through a switch mounted on the console.

Why it's free to use
- Filed July 14, 1994. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended July 14, 2014.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by July 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.
