  • Publication number: 20250025656
    Abstract: Aspects of the present technology comprise a positioning and stabilising structure to hold a seal-forming structure in a therapeutically effective position on a head of a patient. The seal-forming structure may be constructed and arranged to form a seal with a region of the patient's face surrounding an entrance to the patient's airways for sealed delivery of a flow of air at a therapeutic pressure of at least 4 cmH2O with respect to ambient air pressure throughout the patient's respiratory cycle in use. The positioning and stabilising structure may comprise at least one gas delivery tube to deliver the flow of air to the entrance of a patient's airways via the seal-forming structure. The positioning and stabilising structure may comprise an adjustment mechanism for adjustment of a length of the at least one gas delivery tube to enable the positioning and stabilising structure to fit different size heads.

  • Patent number: 3978543
    Abstract: The invention relates to a windscreen wiper comprising a squeegee element and a pressure-distributing harness, moulded of a resilient plastics material, comprising one or more pairs of resiliently flexible arms extending in opposite longitudinal directions from a central portion constituting or having attached thereto a wiper arm connector, and including claws at the free ends of the arms and adjacent the central portion which connect with the squeegee element, directly or indirectly, at pressure-distributing spaced locations therealong, said arms being biassed to cause the wiping edge of the squeegee element, when unrestrained, to be curved along its length, and flexing to allow the squeegee element to conform to the curvature of the windscreen over which it wipes.
