Publication number: 20180140791Abstract: A mask system for treating sleep disordered breathing. The mask system includes headgear and a combination shell and cushion. A plurality of ribs provide rigidity to the combination shell and cushion and are formed integrally with the combination shell and cushion. The mask system also includes a frame shaped and adapted to be removably mounted on the combination shell and cushion. The frame has a plurality of headgear anchor points. A retaining ring is positioned adjacent the front aperture. In addition, a rotatable elbow has a proximal end, a distal end and circumferentially equi-spaced diametrically opposed tongues with undercuts. The proximal end is adapted to pass through the retaining ring. The distal end is adapted to engage an air delivery tube, and the undercuts are adapted to engage the retaining ring. Also, a seal allows rotation of the rotatable elbow relative to the combination shell and cushion.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2018Publication date: May 24, 2018Inventors: Michael Andrew JONES, Amal Shirley AMARASINGHE, Timothy Tsun-Fai FU, Perry David LITHGOW, Jim SAADA, Fiachra Marcus SWEENEY

Patent number: 9027558Abstract: A respiratory mask assembly for delivering breathable gas to a patient includes a frame and at least one locking clip. The frame has a main body and a side frame member provided on each lateral side of the main body, at least one of the side frame members including a locking clip receiver assembly. The at least one locking clip has a main body providing a front portion adapted to be removably coupled with the at least one locking clip receiver assembly and a rear portion adapted to be removably coupled to a headgear assembly. The rear portion includes a cross bar that forms an opening through which a strap of the headgear assembly can pass and be removably coupled with the cross bar, and the front portion includes at least one resiliently flexible spring arm that is flexible within the plane of the main body.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2014Date of Patent: May 12, 2015Assignee: ResMed LimitedInventors: Memduh Guney, Amal Shirley Amarasinghe, Perry David Lithgow, Milind Chandrakant Raje, Aaron Samuel Davidson, Michael Andrew Jones

Patent number: 5975892Abstract: A self-contained calcination plant is enclosed in a feed-storage silo. The plant consists of a vertical reactor, a separation cyclone and a pair of heat exchangers connected by appropriate piping and immersed in the feed material stored in powdery form in the silo. A positive displacement blower creates an air stream that is preheated in one of the heat exchangers and fed in part to a gas burner and in part to a feed pipe at the bottom of the reactor. The feed material is kept in a fluidized state in the silo by air heated in the other heat exchanger and blown upward from the bottom of the storage compartment, from where the material is dropped into the feed pipe through rotary valves prior to injection into the reactor. The feed pipe is connected tangentially to the reactor so as to produce an upward swirling flow around the burner's flame.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 1998Date of Patent: November 2, 1999Inventor: Michael Andrew Jones
