CUSHION FOR PATIENT INTERFACE DEVICE, BREATHING MASK WITH CUSHION, AND METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SAME
20170049983 · 2017-02-23 ·

A patient interface device and cushion for the device are respectively disclosed, for preferred CPAP and BiPAP breathing masks. The cushion has a composite structure with an open rounded polygonal profile defining a mask side layer and a slip-resistant fibrous patient side layer, with an intermediate barrier layer positioned between the first and second layers. The layers are integrally bonded together into a three-dimensional conformation defining a J-shaped cross section and an inboard patient side curl opening into an air chamber juxtaposed with one or more of the patient's airways. The body exhibits flexibility between about 4 and about 10 Taber Stiffness Units. Method and apparatus for making the cushion are further described.

Structural body manufacturing method and panel

A method of manufacturing a structure is provided in which a burr portion can be more reliably cut. In a burr portion shaping step, the burr portion is sucked to an engaging portion by a suction part to shape the burr portion along the engaging portion, and in a cutting step, ae movable portion is moved relative to first and second split molds with the burr portion being shaped along the engaging portion, thereby the burr portion is cut from a molded main body along a cutting line.
