Forehead pad for respiratory mask

摘要

The present invention relates to a forehead pad assembly comprising a base portion (708), wherein the base portion defines a first surface, and a second surface to contact a user's forehead (813), a support post (701), wherein the support post (701) projects from the first surface and comprises a necked down region, the support post projecting from the first surface of the base portion at an angle between about 60 degrees and about 120 degrees, and a head adapted to connect the support post to a forehead support of a respiratory mask (410), wherein the necked down region facilitates releasable engagement of the forehead pad assembly with the forehead support, and wherein the support post (701) is sufficiently stiff in a longitudinal direction so that it can withstand an axial pressure force applied to the base portion (708) when the forehead pad assembly is attached to a mask system.
