Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A coating nozzle (3) movable in a horizontal direction perpendicular to an advancing direction of a vehicle body (1) drops or trickles a strippable paint linearly along one side of the periphery of an area to be protected, and an air blow-off unit (4) blows off air (F) at a predetermined angle against a surface to which the strippable paint is applied whereby the strippable paint is spread over the area to be protected, and when the thus spread strippable paint becomes dry, it forms a protective film. The strippable paint is prevented from adhering to a portion other than the area to be protected and, the protective film of strippable paint has a uniform thickness.

Why it's free to use
- Filed December 20, 1995 and granted September 9, 2003. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended December 20, 2015.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by December 20, 2017.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
