Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A banknote centering device uses a clutch arrangement to limit inward movement of side engaging plates used to center a banknote. The clutch also allows a fixed cycle motor to be used for both inward and outward movement of the side engaging numbers. The resistance of the banknote to buckling in the slot is sufficient to cause the clutch to slip. The device is rugged easy to produce, and has proven very reliable.

Why it's free to use
- Filed April 24, 1998 and granted April 1, 2003. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended April 24, 2018.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by April 24, 2020.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
