Embodiment Construction

[0055] figure 1 with 2 A respiratory mask assembly 10 is shown comprising a frame 12 and a cushion 14 which may be permanently or removably attached to the frame 12 . Cushion 14 may be removably attached to frame 12 with, for example, cushion clips, straps, friction or interference fit, and / or tongue-and-groove arrangements, as is known in the art. However, cushion 14 may be permanently attached to frame 12 with glue and / or mechanical fastening means, for example.

[0056] A forehead support 16 is movably mounted to the upper portion of the frame 12 . A headgear assembly (not shown) can be removably connected to the frame 12 to maintain the frame 12 and cushion 14 in a desired adjusted position on the patient's face. For example, the headgear assembly may include a pair of upper and lower straps, the upper strap being removably attached to the clip structure 18 provided on the forehead support 16, and the lower strap being removably attached to the frame 12 via the headgear...
