The present invention relates to a device for delivering a supply of gases to
a patient. The device includes a patient interface and connecting member. The connecting
member is preferably a L-shaped swivelled connector that is capable of being fixed
into one of two positions, a first position where the connector is freely rotatable
within the patient interface, and a second position where an interference between
the interface and connector prevents the free rotation of the connector within
the patient interface. The present invention further relates to a connector that
has outlet means, which includes at least one outlet vent and a funnel, which in
use directs and passes a substantial portion gases expired from the patient through
the outlet vent or vents.
