Breathing mask arrangement and a forehead support device for same (US7000614)

a nasal mask having a body portion structured to be removably attachable to the mask retaining portion of the frame and a sealing portion structured to engage a patient's face generally along nasal bridge, cheek, and lip regions of the patient's face;

a T-shaped forehead support having an upper cross portion and a lower leg portion, the upper cross portion of the T-shaped forehead support having two spaced elastomeric forehead cushion elements removably attached thereto and structured to engage a patient's forehead, the lower leg portion of the T-shaped forehead support having a coupling portion that is moveably mounted to the arcuate guide portion of the frame to allow sliding movement of the T-shaped forehead support relative to the frame along the arcuate guide portion to thereby adjust the position of the forehead support relative to the patient;

a conduit member releasably coupled to the conduit carrier portion of the frame and in fluid communication with the nasal mask to deliver breathable gas into a nasal breathing space of the nasal mask;

a hose connector sleeve rotatably coupled to the conduit member, the hose connector sleeve structured to be connected to a gas delivery tube; and

a manually engageable actuator that is manually movable between a plurality of locked positions and an unlocked position, wherein the forehead support can be slidably moved relative to the frame along the arcuate guide portion when the manually engageable actuator is in the unlocked position.
