Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A solenoid assembly is provided having a sealing device disposed in a recess of the over-molded material in order to seal the electrical leads extending from the coil of the solenoid through the recess. The sealing device is an elastomeric member having holes defined therein for the electrical leads to pass through and a larger portion that is disposed in the recess. With the larger portion pressed into the recess, a force is transferred through the elastomeric material onto the electrical leads to prohibit ingression of contaminants into the windings of the coil. The electrical leads could be either lead wires or rigid pins. The elastomeric material also serves to provide vibration damping.

Why it's free to use
- Filed June 16, 1999. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended June 16, 2019.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by June 16, 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.
