Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A method and apparatus for forming corrugated pipe is disclosed. The pipe forming apparatus includes a selectively operable corrugation module having an inner corrugation roller movably mounted relative to an outer corrugation roller via a cylinder assembly. The method inlcudes forming a length of spiral pipe without corrugations, engaging a corrugation module to introduce a desired length of corrugated pipe, and retracting the corrugation unit to allow a second length of uncorrugated pipe to form. The uncorrugated portion of the pipe is then severed cleanly using overlapping inner and outer cutting knives.

Why it's free to use
- Filed November 3, 2000. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended November 3, 2020.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by November 3, 2022.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
