Respiratory face mask

A face mask is provided which is adapted to be mounted an inhalation device, e.g., an inhaler or spacer, having a body. The mask includes an annular adaptor part which is to be connected to one end of the body, and a funnel-shaped face engaging portion having a narrow end that is joined to one end of the adaptor part. The wide end of the face engaging portion has a free edge that is adapted to engage the face of an infant around the infant's mouth and at least a part of the infant's nose, and is resilient so that it is adaptable to the shape of the infant's face. The free edge of the wide end of the face engaging part is provided substantially entirely in a plane which forms an angle of about 10.degree.-25.degree. with a plane perpendicular to the extended longitudinal axis of the adaptor part.
