Headgear for breathing apparatus with inelastic, three-dimensional shape
The patent application (Publication Number: US20240033461A1) describes a headgear strap for a headgear assembly that includes a first substrate, a first textile casing, a second substrate, a second textile casing, and a plastic core surrounded by the textile casings and bonded to the substrates. The strap also features a length adjustment mechanism integrated into at least one of the substrates. The first and second textile casings may be bonded to the substrates, with a portion left unbonded for the length adjustment mechanism to be positioned. The textile casings are made of stretchable elastic material, and the length adjustment mechanism includes a male and female substrate portion for adjustability.
Furthermore, the headgear strap includes a plastic core formed by applying molten plastic material between the textile casings, providing structural integrity. The substrates are designed to interlock, ensuring stability and durability. The textile casing is attached to the substrate, with a portion left unbonded for the length adjustment mechanism. The ends of the textile casing are folded over the substrate and bonded to the plastic core, enhancing the overall strength of the headgear strap. The length adjustment mechanism allows for customization and comfort, with a snap-fit connection for easy adjustability. Overall, the design of the headgear strap aims to provide a secure and adjustable solution for headgear assemblies, combining functionality with practicality.
