Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A yarn feeder intended particularly for flatbed knitting machines and elastic yarns has a yarn tension sensor which is provided with a calibration device. This device lifts the yarn from a peg that is part of the yarn tension sensor, at times in which this can be done without impairing operation of the yarn feeder. Such times are preferably time slots when no yarn feeding is necessary. Once the yarn has been lifted from the peg, a zero point calibration is performed; zero point drifting of the entire sensor system including its measurement circuit 61, can be detected and compensated for.

Why it's free to use
- Filed March 12, 1999. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended March 12, 2019.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by March 12, 2021.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
