Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A method and an apparatus for detecting plugged sites and holes and for measuring of the water permeability properties of pervious machine fabrics is disclosed. Plugged sites in a permeable fabric are detected by sensing water pressure pulses occurring in the nozzle at the moment when a stream of water flowing through the nozzle contacts a plugged site on a fast running fabric. The apparatus can be used on-line to simultaneously detect plugged sites and holes on a moving pervious fabric while monitoring its water permeability properties.

Why it's free to use
- Filed September 17, 1997 and granted July 22, 2003. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended September 17, 2017.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by September 17, 2019.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
