  • Publication number: 20230372654
    Abstract: A breathing mask comprises a mask body, a mask bead, at least one mask wing, and at least one filter element. The mask bead is connected to the mask body, and the mask wing is connected to the mask body and/or the mask bead. The mask bead is formed at least in sections for contact on the skin of a user and presses against the skin of the user during use of the breathing mask in such a way that the breathing mask terminates essentially respiratory gas-tight. The mask bead includes a receptacle opening, which is configured to receive at least nose and mouth of the user during use of the breathing mask. The filter element is connected to the mask wing and is configured in such a way that respiratory gas can flow through it at least in some areas.

  • Publication number: 20230277796
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a mask bead for a patient interface, comprising a nose bridge region, at least one side region, a base region, a mask bead attachment, and a bearing region on the patient. The bearing region extends from the side regions and the base region and also the nose bridge region to an opening and is designed as a sealing lip which frames the central opening which serves at least for the introduction of the nose of the patient. The mask bead is formed from at least one elastic material and comprises at least one support structure in the mask bead, which support structure is designed to in part face the bearing region and to in part face the mask bead attachment.

  • Publication number: 20230158344
    Abstract: A breathing mask comprising a mask body, a mask bead, a strap holder and a filter device. Mask bead, strap holder and filter device are connected to the mask body and/or are part of the mask body. The breathing mask encloses the nose and mouth of the user, the mask bead partially delimiting a receiving opening for the nose and mouth. The filter device comprises at least one filter receptacle and at least one filter element. The mask bead has a bearing region configured as a sealing lip and is designed such that the breathing mask bears with the sealing lip on the facial skin around nose and mouth and provides a substantially leak-tight seal to respiratory gas. The filter device is at least in part exchangeable and respiratory gas can at least partially flow through it.

  • Publication number: 20230065584
    Abstract: The invention relates to a respiratory mask of modular construction. The main components are reduced to four parts and are provided by the mask body, the forehead support, the mask bead and the attachment piece. The design, according to the invention, of the outflow structure between mask body and forehead support makes apertures in the mask body unnecessary for this purpose. The strap coupling in the region of the mask body is made easier by a funnel-shaped guide structure such that it is possible in a simple manner even without seeing it.
