Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A clothes dryer (20) has a test button (72) for testing the fire suppression system of the dryer. The test button (72) is connected to the temperature sensor (32) of the lire suppression system such that when the test button (72) is actuated it presents a signal, such as by shorting the two leads of the temperature sensor (32) together, to simulate the condition of the temperature sensor (32) sensing a high temperature. This triggers the control cicuit (56) of the fire suppression system to turn on a water valve (62) to activate the sprinkler system (38). The fire suppression system is then reset by actuating a reset button (78).

Why it's free to use
- Filed June 14, 2004 and granted January 10, 2012. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended June 14, 2024.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by June 14, 2026.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
