Abstract:
An interface for positive pressure therapy includes a mask assembly, a headgear assembly and a connection port assembly. The mask assembly comprises a seal member that has an upper portion movably connected to an integrated lower portion, wherein the upper portion rolls during hinging movement of the upper portion relative to the lower portion. The headgear assembly allows connection to the mask assembly in a direction substantially normal to a direction of strap tension. The connection port assembly includes a swivel elbow with a valve member that controls flow through a port that opens toward the user.

Claim (Index 6):
A rolling-bridge mask assembly to provide improved performance and comfort to a patient receiving respiratory therapy, the mask assembly comprising:\n a mask clip having a mask clip outer surface, a distal end, a proximal end, and a passage disposed at the distal end, at least a portion of the mask clip being formed of polycarbonate; a silicone mask seal having a mask seal outer surface, a distal rim, a radiused portion, a reduced stiffness portion, a stiffer portion and a face contacting flange, the distal rim being attached to the proximal end of the mask clip, the radiused portion extending outwardly from and transverse to the distal rim, and curving proximally towards a patient in use to the reduced stiffness portion, the reduced stiffness portion extending proximally from the radiused portion, the stiffer portion extending proximally from the reduced stiffness portion and having a greater stiffness than the reduced stiffness portion, the face contacting flange extending proximally from the stiffer portion; wherein mask clip outer surface and the mask seal outer surface define an outer surface of the mask assembly, the radiused portion and the reduced stiffness portion are configured to roll such that an outer surface of the radiused portion is rolled over the outer surface of the mask assembly when the face contacting flange is moved towards the distal end of the silicone mask seal.
