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.
