  • Patent number: 9126004
    Abstract: A therapeutic face mask comprises a face-engaging portion and a single connector having a mask-engaging end and a single treatment-receiving end which has a single attachment mounting for detachably sealingly receiving a treatment attachment, such as an oxygen reservoir bag or a nebulizer. A one-way inhalation valve in the connector permits fluid flow from the treatment-receiving end to the mask-engaging end during inhalation and inhibits fluid flow in the other direction. The mask also includes a valve-governed exhalation port and an anti-asphyxia valve assembly configured to permit fluid flow from ambient to the face-engaging portion during inhalation only when inspiratory effort during inhalation exceeds fluid flow to the treatment-receiving end of the connector. Also provided is an oxygen reservoir bag having a neck shaped for removable coupling to a mating connector of a therapeutic face mask. An oxygen reservoir bag may have a metered-dose inhaler port defined in its neck.

  • Patent number: 4006742
    Abstract: Apparatus for the administration of gases such as oxygen, anaesthetic gases, and the like, incorporating a chamber adapted to communicate with a face mask, a gas delivery conduit for delivering gas into the chamber, a control valve manually operable to start and stop delivery of gas thereto, a vent opening for intermittently venting the chamber to atmosphere for exhalation, a valve stem and a valve operating button thereon, the valve stem extending through the vent opening to the exterior of the chamber, a vent closure comprising the inner surface of the valve button, closing the vent opening when the button is operated to start delivery of gas to the chamber, a pressure relief valve communicating with the chamber for discharging to atmosphere in the event of an overpressure occuring therein, while the vent closure is in position closing the vent opening; a gas bypass connection connecting with the gas delivery conduit for receiving gas independently of the control valve; a gas bypass flow valve manually oper
