20120090617 | PATIENT INTERFACE DEVICE HAVING CAM WHEEL ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM - A patient interface device includes a support structure, a pivot arm pivotably coupled to the support structure and structured to pivot about an axis, a patient coupling member, such as a mask or a forehead support, coupled to the pivot arm, and a cam wheel rotateably coupled to the support structure and engaging the pivot arm, wherein rotation of the cam wheel relative to the support structure and the pivot arm causes the pivot arm to pivot about the axis and the patient coupling member to move either forward or backward along a path of movement. Also, an alternative patient interface device includes a cam wheel rotatable about a cushion member that changes a position of a main body portion of the cushion member relative to a headgear frame member of the patient interface device. | 04-19-2012 |
20120204311 | GARMENT FOR TUBING MANAGEMENT - A garment having a tubing management system incorporated therein is provided. The tubing management system includes at least one conduit and a coupling system for the conduit. The coupling system has at least one coupling point, which is located, for example, at the neck opening of the garment. The coupling system defines a path for the conduit, i.e., there is more than one attachment point, therefore the path of the conduit may be controlled. In this configuration, the conduit moves with the user and, as such, there is a reduced chance that the user's movements, even while asleep, will cause the facemask to be pulled from its proper position. | 08-16-2012 |

20130319422 | PATIENT INTERFACE ASSEMBLY AND SYSTEM USING SAME - A patient interface assembly that includes a patient interface device, a headgear, and pivoting coupling member joining the interface device to a headgear assembly. In one embodiment, the patient interface device is a nasal cushion that includes a formable support mounted to the nasal cushion for providing support and adjustment of the nasal cushion to improve fit and comfort. In a further embodiment, a pair of rigid connecting members couple the patient interface device to the headgear. | 12-05-2013 |
20140083427 | PATIENT INTERFACE DEVICE INCLUDING PRESSURE RELIEF FOR DEFORMABLE COMPENENTS - A patient interface device includes a sealing cushion structured to communicate a flow of breathing gas within an airway of a patient, a rigid or semi rigid support member coupled to the sealing cushion, the support member including an inner surface, an outer surface and at least one orifice extending therethrough, and a cushion member provided on the inner surface of the support member and structured to engage a portion of the head or face of the patient when the patient interface device is donned by the patient, the cushion member being made of a deformable material and overlapping the orifice such that a portion of the cushion member will flow at least partially through the orifice when pressure is applied to the cushion member. | 03-27-2014 |

20140202466 | PATIENT INTERFACE DEVICE WITH LIMITED SUPPORT AREA ON THE FACE - A patient interface device includes a support member, a sealing assembly attached to the support member, and a pair of contacting members. The contacting members are coupled to the support member on each side of the sealing assembly. The contacting members are each configured and arranged to contact the user over a limited contacting region, which corresponds to a junction of the oribicularis oris facial muscle, the zygomaticus facial muscle, and the risorius facial muscle. | 07-24-2014 |
