Publication number: 20180361101Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2018Publication date: December 20, 2018Inventors: Arnold FRERICHS, Martin BECHTEL, Martin EIFLER, Joachim GARDEIN
