Problems solved by technology

Despite the presence of the removable mask connector, many patients pull the mask component of their patient interface device forward to remove it, stretching the helmet in the process
While no doubt there are many reasons why people do this, they do it despite having helmet connectors for easy release or disconnection from the mask shell
Stretching of the helmet often negatively affects the fit and / or adjustment of the patient interface device and is therefore problematic and undesirable

Embodiment Construction

[0016] As used herein, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. As used herein, the statement that two or more parts or components are "coupled" shall mean that whenever a coupling occurs, those parts are coupled or operate together, directly or indirectly, i.e. through one or more intermediate parts or components . As used herein, "directly coupled" means that two elements are in direct contact with each other. As used herein, "fixedly coupled" or "fixed" means that two components are coupled so as to move as one while maintaining a constant orientation relative to each other.

[0017] As used herein, the word "unitary" means that a component is formed as one part or unit. That is, a part that includes individual elements that are formed separately and then coupled together as an assembly is not a "unitary" part or body. As used herein, the statement that two or more parts or components "engage" one anot...

Abstract

A patient interface device (8, 8', 8'') that includes a cushion (16), a shell (18) coupled to the cushion, a headgear (22, 22', 22'') having a first strap (28A, 28A', 28A'') and a second strap (28B, 28B', 28B''), and a release mechanism (30) coupled to the shell. The release mechanism includes a first cord (54A) coupled to the first strap and a second cord (54B) coupled to the second strap. The release mechanism is selectively moveable between a closed position and an open position.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This patent application claims the benefit of priority under 35 U.S.C §119(e) to U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 416,317, filed November 23, 2010, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. field of invention [0003] The present invention relates to respiratory therapy systems, such as non-invasive ventilation and pressure support systems, and in particular to patient interface devices for respiratory therapy systems that include a quick release mechanism to allow quick and easy release of the helmet components of the patient interface device and tighten. Background technique [0004] There are many situations in which it is necessary or desirable to non-invasively deliver respiratory airflow to a patient's airway, ie, without intubating the patient's airway or surgically inserting a tracheal tube in his esophagus. For example, it is known to ventilate a patient using a technique known as non-inv...
