Respiratory masks made of thermoformed EVA foam are provided. A mask can include a seal that contacts a user's face in use and a housing permanently joined to the seal. Both the seal and housing can be made of EVA foam. The seal and housing can be made of EVA foam having different densities. The mask can further include a frame removably or permanently coupled the housing. Headgear can be coupled to the frame and can couple the mask to the user's face in use.

Thermoformed mask

A headgear assembly can include a pair of opposing, semi-rigid side arms. Each side arm can be pivotally coupled to an interface at a single location. Each side arm can extend from the single location across the user's cheeks and above the user's ears in use. The headgear assembly can include a top strap coupled to the pair of opposing, semi-rigid side arms, the top strap configured to extend around the top of a user's head. The headgear assembly can include a rear strap coupled to the pair of opposing, semi-rigid side arms, the rear strap configured to extend around the rear of a user's head. The headgear assembly can include a chin strap coupled to the pair of opposing, semi-rigid side arms, the chin strap configured to extend around the user's chin.

A respiratory interface, such as a mouthpiece, having a vestibular shield overlapping a user's teeth and gums, a gases passageway extending through the vestibular shield allowing for the passage of the gases through mouthpiece and an extra oral seal associated with the gases passageway, wherein the passageway in use causes gases to be diffused when exiting from the gases passageway. Mouthpiece may have an adjustment mechanism to alter distance between the vestibular shield and the extra-oral seal. The interface may include an elbow having a vent.

Respiratory interface with elbow

A respiratory interface, such as a mouthpiece having a vestibular shield overlapping a user's teeth and gums, gases passageway extending through the vestibular shield allowing for the passage of the gases through mouthpiece and an extra oral seal associated with the gases passageway, wherein the passageway in use causes gases to be diffused when exiting from the gases passageway. Mouthpiece may have an adjustment mechanism to alter distance between the vestibular shield and the extra-oral seal. The interface may include an elbow having a vent.

A mouthpiece having a vestibular shield overlapping a user's teeth and gums, a gases passageway extending through the vestibular shield allowing for the passage of the gases through the mouthpiece and an extra oral sealing member is associated with the gases passageway. The passageway in use causes gases to be diffused when exiting from the gases passageway. The mouthpiece may have a noseflap to seal the user's nose or provide a passageway for the user's nasal passages. The mouthpiece may have an adjustment arrangement to alter a distance between the vestibular shield and the extra-oral sealing member.

Mouthpiece

Mouthpiece () having vestibular shield () overlapping a user's teeth and gums, gases passageway means extending through said vestibular shield allowing for the passage of said gases through mouthpiece and extra oral sealing () means associated with gases passageway, said passageway in use causes gases to be diffused (outlets) when exiting from gases passageway. Mouth piece may have a noseflap to seal the user's nose or provide a passageway for user's nasal passages. Mouthpiece may have adjustment means to alter distance between said vestibular shield and said extra-oral sealing means.

An apparatus for the processing of articles () is disclosed. The apparatus includes guide means () having a body, a first end () for receiving articles, and a second end () for dispatching articles. The apparatus may be used to transfer articles () from a first conveyor means to a second conveyor means with a reduced likelihood of the articles colliding with other articles.
