  • Patent number: 10549061
    Abstract: A patient interface device includes a cushion member having a main body portion having a surface structured to engage a face of a patient. A frame member is coupled to the cushion member, and a fluid coupling conduit is coupled to the frame member. An engagement member is coupled to the cushion member; and a rotatable cam wheel is disposed between the frame member and the engagement member. Rotation of the cam wheel changes a position of the main body portion relative to the frame member. The cushion member includes a flexible portion adjacent the main body portion, and the cam wheel is rotatable about the flexible portion, such that rotation of the cam wheel about the flexible portion causes the flexible portion to deflect thereby moving the cushion member relative to the frame member.

  • Patent number: 9821133
    Abstract: A patient interface device includes a support structure, a pivot arm pivotably coupled to the support structure and structured to pivot about an axis, a patient coupling member, such as a mask or a forehead support, coupled to the pivot arm, and a cam wheel rotateably coupled to the support structure and engaging the pivot arm, wherein rotation of the cam wheel relative to the support structure and the pivot arm causes the pivot arm to pivot about the axis and the patient coupling member to move either forward or backward along a path of movement. Also, an alternative patient interface device includes a cam wheel rotatable about a cushion member that changes a position of a main body portion of the cushion member relative to a headgear frame member of the patient interface device.

  • Publication number: 20110240031
    Abstract: A respiratory interface device includes a mask, a connector tubing component, a headgear and a tube management device coupled to the headgear. The connector tubing component has a main tubing portion and a swivel mechanism provided at an end thereof for coupling the connector tubing component to a gas supply tube. The main tubing portion of the connector tubing component is structured to be moveably received within and held by the tube management device. The pressure applied to the bridge of the nose of the user by the mask may be selectively adjusted by adjusting the position of the main tubing portion within the tube management device. The tube management device may, for example, be threaded, employ a friction fit, employ a cam mechanism, or employ a compressible tube attachment piece, among other implementations.
