A sector shaped collar member is pivotally coupled to the housing and is pivotal from a first position wherein it is oriented away from the shelf surface and to a second position wherein it at least partially overlaps the shelf surface.

The collar has a tab which is received in slots in outer wall which extends around the open end of the recess.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed November 5, 1996 and granted July 6, 1999. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended November 5, 2016.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by November 5, 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.
