A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11918503B2) discloses a novel mask structure designed to fit around or over a body part. The structure comprises a first frame with a shape that conforms to the body part and includes a first surface that docks with a second frame supporting the body part. The first frame features a material for fitting to the body part and a series of pivoting clamps that engage with the second frame's upper flange to secure the mask in place. The clamping arms of the pivoting clamps are designed to pivot relative to the frame's outer edge, ensuring a secure fit without extending inwards beyond a defined boundary within the frame.

Furthermore, the patent also covers a medical treatment mask incorporating the unique mask frame design. This medical mask includes at least one clamp mounted on the frame, allowing it to be securely attached to a body part positioning device. The clamping arm of the clamp rotates about a specific axis within the frame, enabling it to clamp the mask frame to the positioning device without extending beyond the frame's outer perimeter. The mask frame also includes alignment pins for precise positioning on the positioning device, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit for the patient. The innovative design of the mask frame and clamps provides a versatile and effective solution for medical treatment applications requiring a secure and adjustable mask structure.
