Abstract:
An air delivery system for providing a supply of air from a source of air at positive pressure to an interfacing structure located at the entrance to the airways of a patient includes a manifold adapted to connect with the supply of positive air pressure and at least one tube connected to the manifold and adapted to deliver the supply of air to the interfacing structure. Each tube is structured to allow movement between an open phase in which the tube allows the passage of air and a collapsed phase in which the tube is collapsed. Each tube is structured such that weight of a typical patient's head against bedding apparel is sufficient to collapse the tube from the open phase to the collapsed phase.

Claim (Index 21):
A mask system to deliver respiratory therapy to a patient, the mask system comprising:\n a patient interface that defines a breathing chamber and is shaped to seal against a face of the patient and deliver pressurized air from the breathing chamber into airways of the patient, the patient interface defining a first inlet port for introduction of pressurized air into the breathing chamber at a first location and a second inlet port for introduction of pressurized air into the breathing chamber at a second location that is spaced apart from the first location; a conduit headgear system that provides a combined air delivery and stabilizing structure for the patient interface, the conduit headgear system including:\n a first inlet conduit to introduce pressurized air into the breathing chamber of the patient interface through the first inlet port of the patient interface, the first inlet conduit extending across a first side of a head of the patient when the mask system is worn by the patient, the first inlet conduit including a first extension that is located above a first ear of the patient and that extends away from the first inlet conduit towards a back of the head of the patient when the mask system is worn by the patient; \n a second inlet conduit to introduce pressurized air into the breathing chamber of the patient interface through the second inlet port of the patient interface, the second inlet conduit extending across a second side of the head of the patient when the mask system is worn by the patient, the second inlet conduit including a second extension that is located above a second ear of the patient and that extends away from the second inlet conduit towards the back of the head of the patient when the mask system is worn by the patient; and \n a back strap to extend across an occiput of the patient when the mask system is worn by the patient, the back strap connectable with the first extension of the first inlet conduit above the first ear of the patient and connectable with the second extension of the second inlet conduit above the second ear of the patient.
