Patent number: 11931512Abstract: A patient interface including a positioning and stabilizing structure that is configured to maintain a first seal-forming structure and a second seal-forming structure in a therapeutically effective position. The positioning and stabilizing structure comprises a frame coupled to the plenum chamber. The frame includes a central portion coupled to the plenum chamber outside of the cavity. The frame also includes a pair of arms that extend away from the central portion in a posterior direction past the second seal-forming structure. The pair of arms are more flexible than the central portion. The positioning and stabilizing structure also includes headgear straps coupled to the frame, which configured to provide a tensile force to the first seal-forming structure and to the second seal-forming structure into the patient's face via the frame.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2020Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: ResMed Pty LtdInventors: Matthew Eves, Andrew James Bate, Sebastien Deubel, Paul Derrick Watson, Matthew Robin Wells, Beng Hai Tan, Chee Keong Ong, Marvin Sugi Hartono, Han Cheng Lin

Publication number: 20210370002Abstract: A mask apparatus for a respiratory treatment can permit delivery of breathable gas to a user. In one example, the mask may employ a frame and cushion to form a seal for both mouth and nose. The frame may be adapted for coupling with a respiratory treatment apparatus so as to permit communication of a pressurized gas from the respiratory treatment apparatus. The cushion, which may be foam, may have a substantially under the nose configuration or over the nose configuration. The mask may have a common plenum chamber for both nose and mouth. The cushion may further define a centrally open lip superior region. The cushion may be adapted to couple with the frame directly or to the frame in conjunction with a cushion support clip. Various features of the cushion may further promote sealing and comfort for the under the nose design.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 11, 2021Publication date: December 2, 2021Applicant: ResMed Pty Ltd.Inventors: Craig David EDWARDS, Lachlan Richard GOLDSPINK, Robert Edward HENRY, Andrew HUNG, Paul JAN KLASEK, Kam Man LAW, Grant Milton OVZINSKY, Stuart Norris PLASCOTT, Rupert Christian SCHEINER, James SUNG, Lance Ian SWIFT, Matthew Robin WELLS
