Patent number: 11517700Abstract: A headgear or headgear segments are manufactured to shape thereby producing little or no waste material. Such headgear or headgear segments (components) may comprise a unitary, substantially seamless structure. Techniques such as knitting, braiding, crocheting, and 3D printing may be used to produce the headgear. As a result, the manufacturing process may have reduced steps, the amount of material waste may be reduced, and there are virtually no seams in the headgear between adjoining sections, thereby resulting in headgear with enhanced comfort.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2020Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: ResMed Pty LtdInventors: Jessica Lea Dunn, Justin John Formica, Anthony Paul Barbara

Patent number: 11517699Abstract: A patient interface assembly includes a flexible cushion with a nares sealing portion configured to sealingly engage the patient's nares and a mouth sealing portion configured to seal around the patient's mouth. A cushion clip is attached to the flexible cushion, forms at least part of a plenum chamber with the flexible cushion, and is more rigid than the flexible cushion. A frame is attached to the cushion clip, is more rigid than the flexible cushion. A superior portion of the frame extends beyond the mouth sealing portion in the superior direction to overlap at least a part of the pair of lateral nares engagement portions of the nares sealing portion. At least a part of the nares sealing portion of the flexible cushion is decoupled from both the cushion clip and the superior portion of the frame that overlaps the nares sealing portion so that the lateral nares engagement portions are movable independently of the frame and the cushion clip.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2022Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: ResMed Pty LtdInventors: Justin John Formica, Jose Ignacio Romagnoli, Philip Rodney Kwok, Joel Edward Gibson, David Anthony Pidcock, Christopher Scott Skipper, Stephen Gray
