| Abstract: |
A sleep apnea headgear for positioning breathing apparatus on the head of a user includes a T-shaped rear portion and a T-shaped front portion each having latitudinal and longitudinal legs and a chinstrap made from a stretchable, breathable, laminated neoprene substitute having an inner surface of LYCRA(R) fabric and an outer surface of UBL loop material. The rear portion includes a hook-and-loop fastener at opposite lateral segments of its latitudinal leg for securing opposite ends of the chinstrap to the outer surface of the latitudinal leg, and a hook pad on the inner surface at each lateral end of the latitudinal leg. The front portion includes a slot opening at each lateral end of its latitudinal leg sized for receiving a corresponding lateral end of the latitudinal leg of the rear portion, whereby the hook pads may be attached directly to the outer loop surface of the latitudinal leg of the front portion. The front portion preferably includes its own hook pad on its inner surface at a distal end of the longitudinal leg for connecting to the outer surface loop material of the longitudinal leg of the rear portion. The assembled headgear is free of hook and/or loop pads openly facing the head or skin, and is also free of chemical adhesives.
