Abstract

A nasal mask includes a main body having an annular inner rim and an annular outer rim, two connection members respectively connected to two opposite sides of the main body, and two engaging holes each formed in proximity to a junction between one connect ion member and the main body. The inner rim is formed with an annular shoulder and a seal ring that projects from the shoulder. A head strap unit has two opposite ends connected to the connect ion members. A nose unit includes a main plate having a peripheral edge abutting against the shoulder and the seal ring, two nasal prong members connected to the main plate, and two engaging plates to engage the engaging holes. An air supply unit is connected to the outer rim.

Claims

1. A nasal mask comprising:

a main body unit including a main body defining a chamber, two connection members respectively connected to two opposite sides of said main body, and two engaging holes each formed in proximity to a junction between one of said connection members and said main body, said main body having an inner end that is adapted to contact a user'"'"'s face and that has an annular inner rim defining an inner opening communicating spatially with said chamber, and an outer end that is opposite to said inner end and that has an annular outer rim defining a connecting hole communicating spatially with said chamber, said annular inner rim being recessed steppedly to form an annular recess that extends around said inner opening, and an annular shoulder that is formed as an annular floor for said annular recess and that faces in a direction toward the user'"'"'s face, said annular inner rim being formed with a seal ring that projects from said annular shoulder;

a head strap unit having two opposite ends connected respectively to said connection members;

a nose unit including a main plate having a peripheral edge received engagingly in said annular recess and abutting against said annular shoulder and said seal ring, two nasal prong members connected to said main plate, and two engaging plates projecting respectively from two opposite sides of said peripheral edge to engage said engaging holes, respectively; and

an air supply unit opposite to said nose unit and connected to said annular outer rim.

2. The nasal mask as claimed in claim 1, wherein:

said main body has a chamber wall that interconnects said inner and outer rims;

each of said two engaging holes in said main body unit has an entrance end extending through said shoulder, and an exit end extending through said chamber wall opposite to said entrance end; and

each of said two engaging plates of said nose unit has a connecting end connected to said peripheral edge of said main plate and extending into said entrance end, and an engaging end extending outwardly of said exit end of said main body unit.

3. The nasal mask as claimed in claim 2, wherein each of said engaging plates of said nose unit has an engaging hook formed on said engaging end, and said engaging hook is engaged with an outer surface of said chamber wall in proximity to said exit end.

4. The nasal mask as claimed in claim 3, wherein said main body further includes a locking hole formed in said annular inner rim above said inner opening, and said nose unit further includes a locking plate connected to said peripheral edge between said engaging plates and engaged to said locking hole.

5. The nasal mask as claimed in claim 4, wherein said main body unit further includes a stop flange projecting toward said inner opening from said annular inner rim to abut against an inner surface of said main plate.

6. The nasal mask as claimed in claim 1, wherein said air supply unit includes an annular connecting member fittingly engaged in said connecting hole in said main body unit, and an air supply tube, said annular connecting member having an outer surface formed with an annular groove, said air supply tube having a head portion inserted into said annular connecting member, and two securing hooks connected to two opposite sides of said head portion, each of said securing hooks having a hook portion engaging said annular groove, and a press portion opposite to said hook portion.
