Patent number: 11986596Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2020Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: ResMed Pty LtdInventors: Mun Yee Mah, Cheoung Hong Lee, Robin Yew, Murray William Lee, Bruce Richard Davies
