Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A mould oscillator for a continuous casting machine comprises at least two tensile elements (46 48, 50) disposed so as to, always remain in tension. The tensile elements (46 48, 50) lie on respective radii extending from the radius of curvature of the casting radius R and are anchored to a fixed external frame (40 42, 44). The oscillating drive (90) is in the form of a cam (104) which moves a follower (108) pivoted at one end. A transfer element (124) between the follower (108) and the mould (20) transmits the oscillation to the mould (20) and the oscillation stroke is varied by adjustment means (142) changing the distance of the cam (104) from the pivoted end of the follower (108).

Why it's free to use
- Filed March 9, 1993 and granted December 15, 1998. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended March 9, 2013.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by March 9, 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.
