Abstract:
A connector arrangement joining a respiratory mask and headgear is adapted for single-handed disengagement by the patient. A first, rigid connector part is formed into the rigid mask frame, with a mating second connector attached to a strap of the headgear. The connectors are held away from the patient's face by the connection to the mask frame.

Claim (Index 21):
A respiratory mask and headgear combination for the delivery of breathable gases to a patient for the treatment of sleep disordered breathing (SDB), the respiratory mask and headgear combination comprising:\n a respiratory mask comprising:\n a mask frame having a gas inlet aperture; \n a first connector, the first connector and the mask frame integrally molded from a rigid material; and \n a cushion attached to the mask frame and configured to seal with the patient's face; \n headgear configured to secure the respiratory mask on the patient's head, the headgear including a strap, and the strap being length-adjustable; an elbow connector pivotably connected to the mask frame at the gas inlet aperture, the elbow connector configured to connect to a gas supply conduit; and a second connector configured to be connected to the strap such that the length of the strap is adjustable relative to the second connector, wherein the second connector is structured to releasably connect to the first connector such that the headgear is detachable from the respiratory mask without the need to detach the strap from the second connector, wherein the second connector is configured to provide snap feedback to the patient when the first connector and the second connector are connected, wherein the first connector is positioned on the mask frame such that when the respiratory mask is worn by the patient and the first connector and the second connector are connected the second connector is held clear of the patient's face.
