1. A system for adjusting a gas delivery mask, the system comprising:
- a base;
an arm pivotally coupled to the base, the arm including a first threaded portion; and
an intermediate member slidably coupled to both the base and the arm, the intermediate member including a second threaded portion coupled to the first threaded portion, wherein rotation of the second threaded portion relative to the first threaded portion slides the intermediate member along the arm and relative to the base such that the arm pivots relative to the base.

Abstract
A system for adjusting a gas delivery mask is provided. The system may include a base, an arm pivotally coupled to the base, and an intermediate member slidably coupled to both the base and the arm. The arm may include a first threaded portion, and the intermediate member may include a second threaded portion coupled to the first threaded portion. Rotation of the second threaded portion relative to the first threaded portion may slide the intermediate member along the arm and relative to the base such that the arm pivots relative to the base.

22. A system for adjusting a gas delivery mask, the system comprising:
-
rigid base means for supporting a gas delivery mask adjacent a subject'"'"'s head; gas delivery means for delivering gas to the subject; elongated rigid supporting means for supporting the gas delivery means, the rigid supporting means being rotatably coupled to the rigid base means about a pivot joint having an axis extending laterally across the rigid base means; and rotating means having a first portion slidably coupled to the elongated rigid supporting means such that rotation of the rigid supporting means causes the first portion of the rotating means to slide along a length of the elongated rigid supporting means. - View Dependent Claims (23)
