Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Electrical apparatus such as a timer for use in a water filter is formed integrally with a sealed housing. The housing has a resilient, depressible surface from which a projection extends. At least an end surface of the projection is electrically conductive. A pair of spaced-apart electrical contacts are located close to the end surface of the projection. Resilient deflection of the depressible surface causes the projection to come into contact with the electrical contacts, thereby making an electrical connection between them.

Why it's free to use
- Filed June 2, 1998. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended June 2, 2018.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by June 2, 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.
