Embodiment Construction

[0185] Figure 1 shows an exploded cross-sectional view of a mask assembly 5 according to one embodiment of the present invention. The mask assembly 5 is to be worn by the user 1 and substantially surrounds the nose 3 of the user 1 . The mask assembly 5 includes, for example, a mask frame 10 , a swivel elbow assembly 20 connected to the mask frame 10 , and a mask cushion 30 connected to the mask frame 10 . The swivel elbow assembly is adapted to be connected to an air tube 168 that supplies breathing gas to the user 1 .

[0186] The mask cushion 30 is designed to substantially surround the user's nose 3 and apply pressure to the periphery of the mask 30 while minimizing and / or avoiding contact with pressure sensitive areas of the user's face. Some parts of the user's face, such as the bridge of the nose area, require special attention to obtain a balance of pressure and seal. At the same time, it is desirable to provide a low slip mask to improve the comfort of the user 1 by ...
