  • Publication number: 20070261697
    Abstract: A nasal cushion (30) comprises a substantially triangularly frame (32) from which extends a membrane (34). The frame (32) has a scalloped edge (36) by which the cushion (30) is affixed to a mask body. The member (34) has an aperture (38) into which the wearer's nose is received. The membrane (34) is spaced away from the rim (40) of the frame (32), and its or surface (41) is of substantially the same shape as the rim (40). Respective notches (42,44) receive the bridge of the wearer's nose. The wearer's nose is received through the aperture (38) into the chamber within the mask body (46). The seal forming portion (45) thus contacts both the surface of the wearer's nose and a portion of the wearer's face in the region between the base of the nose and the upper lip, and around the sides and over the bridge of the nose. The shape of the seal forming portion (45) is particularly suited to effectively seal the difficult region of the facial contour that is the crease between the sides of the nose and the face.

  • Publication number: 20060201515
    Abstract: A full-face cushion (30B) comprises a substantially triangularly shaped frame (32) from which extends a membrane (34). The frame (32) has a scalloped edge (36) by which the cushion (30B) is affixed to a mask body (46) to form a full-face mask (60B). The membrane (34) has an aperture (38) into which the wearer's nose is received. The member (34) is spaced away from the rim (40) of the frame (32), and its outer surface (41) is of substantially the same shape as the rim (40). Respective notches (42, 44) receive the bridge of the wearer's nose. The wearer's nose and lips are received through the aperture (38) into the chamber within the mask body (46).

  • Patent number: 6960102
    Abstract: A method of assembling an electrical test connector for testing connectivity in aircraft wire harness fitted with military specification or other electrical connectors. In a particular embodiment, the test connector is manually assembled on site by a technician from components that are readily and inexpensively available, providing ease and speed in completing connectivity or other wire testing. The test connector has a mating insert, selected and configured to mate with an identified aircraft connector present on the harness to be tested. Insulation and internal wire support is provided by packing the wire connections with a potting material and covering the test connector with an optional heat shrink tubing. Alignment to the aircraft connector may be keyed with the use of a visual indicator applied to the covering. The components as a kit and the assembled test connector are also provided.
