Abstract

A respirator mask includes an inflatable cuff, a gas-guiding member, and an inflating valve. The inflatable cuff has an inner wall surface confining an air chamber, and a gas inlet unit having a hollow protrusion projecting into the air chamber from the inner wall surface. The hollow protrusion has an innermost end wall spaced apart from the inner wall surface and a through hole formed in the innermost end wall. The hollow protrusion is formed as one-piece with the inner wall surface. The gas-guiding member has an annular connecting edge portion which is connected to the inflatable cuff and which has a hollow seat aligned with the hollow protrusion. The hollow seat has a through hole communicated with the through hole of the hollow protrusion. The inflating valve is mounted in the hollow seat.
