Patent number: 11951258Abstract: A patient interface includes a plenum chamber pressurisable to a therapeutic pressure, and a seal-forming structure constructed and arranged to seal with a region of a patient's face surrounding an entrance to a patient's airways. The seal-forming structure is constructed and arranged to maintain the therapeutic pressure in the plenum chamber throughout a patient's respiratory cycle in use. The patient interface also includes a positioning and stabilizing structure configured to hold the seal-forming structure in a therapeutically effective position on a patients head. The positioning and stabilizing structure includes a rear strap arranged to contact an occiput of the patient's head. The rear strap is constructed from a first material is arranged to contact a temporal region of the patient's head, and a second material arranged to contact the occiput of the patients head. The second material is silicone.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: ResMed Pty LtdInventors: Memduh Guney, Stewart Joseph Wagner, Jeremy McManus, Daniel Marc Weiss, Michael Kenneth Truscott, Nwe Oo Tha, Bruce Richard Davies

Publication number: 20210205563Abstract: A manufactured component, such as headgear or a headgear strap, for a patient interface for delivery of pressurised air or breathable gas to an entrance of a patient's airways may include a textile portion having a first material with a first melting point. It may also include a plastic portion over-moulded to the textile portion. The plastic portion may be formed of a second material having a second melting point. The melting points may be different such that the second melting point is chosen to be less than the first melting point of the first material. The component may be moulded in a multi-step process that moulds separate portions of the plastic portion and the textile portion at different times. The resulting plastic portion may then have a mechanical bond with the textile and may do so without significant chemical bonding between the plastic portion and the textile.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2020Publication date: July 8, 2021Applicant: ResMed Pty LtdInventors: Mun Yee MAH, Cheoung Hong LEE, Robin YEW, Murray William LEE, Bruce Richard DAVIES

Patent number: 9149596Abstract: A mechanism for releasing a mask from a patient's face includes a frame part including a male connection and a frame engagement portion for engaging a cooperating portion on a frame of the mask. A headgear part includes a female connection that is adapted to receive the male connection when the frame part is inserted into the headgear part, and a headgear engagement portion for engaging a cooperating portion on headgear of the mask. A cord has one end secured to the male connection, such that when the cord is pulled by the patient the male connection disengages from the female connection and consequently the frame part separates from the headgear part releasing the mask from the patient's face. A method of releasing a mask from a patient's face includes pulling a cord away from a frame of the mask to release a latch of the mask frame from a latch receiving portion of a headgear of the mask to release the latch from the latch receiving portion.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2008Date of Patent: October 6, 2015Assignee: ResMed LimitedInventors: Zoran Valcic, Bruce Richard Davies, Huw Umberto Wallis, Richard Sokolov, Eric Siu
