Abstract: A mask system includes a frame defining a breathing chamber, a cushion provided to the frame and adapted to form a seal with the patient's face, and a shroud provided to the frame and adapted to attach headgear. The shroud includes a retaining mechanism structured to connect the shroud to the frame. The retaining mechanism includes both a taper lock arrangement and a retaining clip arrangement.

Abstract: A manufactured component, such as headgear or a headgear strap, for a patient interface for delivery of pressurised air or breathable gas to an entrance of a patient's airways may include a textile portion having a first material with a first melting point. It may also include a plastic portion over-moulded to the textile portion. The plastic portion may be formed of a second material having a second melting point. The melting points may be different such that the second melting point is chosen to be less than the first melting point of the first material. The component may be moulded in a multi-step process that moulds separate portions of the plastic portion and the textile portion at different times. The resulting plastic portion may then have a mechanical bond with the textile and may do so without significant chemical bonding between the plastic portion and the textile.

Abstract: A patient interface system includes a cushion and a frame that form at least part of a breathing chamber configured to receive the patient's nose. The patient interface system further includes headgear with a back portion and a pair of upper headgear straps extending from the back portion. In addition, a shroud is removably mounted on the frame and includes a pair of upper headgear connectors configured to connect to the pair of upper headgear straps. Each of the pair of upper headgear connectors comprises a rigidizer configured to be proximal to a nasal bridge region of the patient when donned by the patient. The pair of upper headgear straps are configured to be releasably attached to the pair of upper headgear connectors such that, when donned by the patient, the pair of upper headgear straps extend substantially parallel to the patient's Frankfort horizontal plane.
