A structural connecting and sealing member is provided for making a structural connection between two structural members along an elongate interface without the need for any additional fasteners. The member includes two attaching members for attaching the connecting member to each of the structural members, and further includes a sealing portion which provides a seal along a joint between the two structural members thereby eliminating the need for caulking or sealant to be applied to the joint. The member is particularly suited for use in the construction of door frames where it is used to join a door jamb to a brick mould.

Why it's free to use
- Filed June 28, 1996 and granted September 11, 2001. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended June 28, 2016.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by June 28, 2018.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
