Patent number: 9032955Abstract: A mask system for use between a patient and a device to deliver a breathable gas to the patient includes a mouth cushion, a pair of nasal prongs, an elbow, and a headgear assembly. The mouth cushion is structured to sealingly engage around an exterior of a patient's mouth in use, and the pair of nasal prongs are structured to sealingly communicate with nasal passages of a patient's nose in use. The elbow delivers breathable gas to the patient. The headgear assembly maintains the mouth cushion and the nasal prongs in a desired position on the patient's face. The headgear assembly provides a substantially round crown strap that cups the parietal bone and occipital bone of the patient's head in use.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2006Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: ResMed LimitedInventors: Steven John Lubke, Gregory Scott Smart, Rupert Christian Scheiner, Alison Oldenburg, James William Charles Vandyke, Christopher Scott Skipper, Michael John Reid, Timothy Shawn Nelson, Philip Rodney Kwok, Karthikeyan Selvarajan

Publication number: 20140366882Abstract: Apparatus for providing positive airway pressure therapy to the airways of a patient includes a mask, a gas delivery conduit coupled to the mask, and a vent located in the mask or near the mask in the gas delivery conduit, to allow washout of exhaled carbon dioxide. The vent includes a plurality of vent orifices, the vent orifices being constructed and arranged to be open in use at least during the inhalation and exhalation phases of the user's breathing cycle. Each of the vent orifices being molded into a surface as a curved flow path from an interior of the mask or gas delivery conduit to atmosphere so that a vent flow from each of the orifices is directed in different directions, into one another, and/or slightly offset from one another to create diffuse air flow.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 3, 2014Publication date: December 18, 2014Inventors: Eva NG, Robert Henry FRATER, Lee James VELISS, Barton John KENYON, Daniel Robert JUDSON, Robert Edward HENRY, Alison OLDENBURG, Renee Frances DOHERTY, Michael John REID

Patent number: 8851075Abstract: A mask system includes a mask component including one or more openings for gas washout and a vent component provided to the mask component. The vent component includes one or more tracks or grooves along its outer surface adapted to guide gas washout. The vent component is adapted to cover the one or more openings in the mask component so that gas washout escapes along the one or more tracks or grooves between an outer surface of the mask component and the vent component.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2013Date of Patent: October 7, 2014Assignee: ResMed LimitedInventors: Eva Ng, Robert Henry Frater, Lee James Veliss, Barton John Kenyon, Daniel Robert Judson, Robert Edward Henry, Alison Oldenburg, Renee Frances Doherty, Michael John Reid
