A respiratory apparatus may employ ultrasonic welds. The ultrasonic welding may be used to join a variety of headgear, mask and accessory components. This process may enhance comfort, fit and/or performance of the joined components and/or overall mask assembly. A component may be a single layer component such as a textile or fabric, or a composite or multiple layer component such as fabric and foam composites, or outer fabric layers and inner spacer fabrics. Further, a component may be a strap, some other headgear component, a mask component, an accessory component or the like. 呼吸仪器可应用超声波焊接。该超声波焊接可用于连接各种帽盔、面罩和配件。这个过程可提高连接部件和/或者整体面罩组件的舒适度、贴合度和/或者性能。部件可以是单层部件，例如纺织品或织物，或是复合材料或多层材料，例如织物和泡沫复合材料，或外织物层、内层间隔织物。此外，部件可以是绑带、些其他帽盔部件、面罩部件、配件或类似等。
