a first plate section extending laterally from the central plate section and connected to the central plate section by the first hinge, the first plate section configured to pivot along the first hinge, the first hinge thinner than the first plate section and the central plate section, wherein an inhalation valve is provided on the first plate section; and a second plate section extending laterally from the central plate section and connected to the central plate section by the second hinge, the second plate section configured to pivot along the second hinge, the second hinge thinner than the second plate section and the central plate section, wherein an exhalation valve is provided on the second plate section. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) An oxygen mask according to claim 1, wherein the carrier has an essentially elongate shape and the breathing bag connection is arranged between the inhalation valve and the exhalation valve. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) An oxygen mask according to claim 1, wherein the oxygen mask comprises an elastic band for fixing the oxygen mask on the head of a user, wherein a first end of the elastic band engages on the first plate section and a second end of the elastic band engages on the second plate section. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) An oxygen mask according to claim 1, wherein a peripheral mask body is injected on the carrier plate. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) An oxygen mask according to claim 4, wherein the peripheral mask body in a in a region which is adjacent the second hinge has a lower wall thickness than in regions lying there between. ### Claim 6 An oxygen mask, comprising: a central plate section including a first hinge, a second hinge, and a breathing bag connection spaced from the first hinge and the second hinge, the first hinge and the second hinge each formed as a film hinge; a first plate section connected to the central plate section by the first hinge, the first hinge thinner than the first plate section and the central plate section, the first plate section including an inhalation valve; and a second plate section connected to the central plate section by the second hinge, the second hinge thinner than the second plate section and the central plate section, the second plate section including an exhalation valve. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The oxygen mask of claim 6, comprising: the breathing bag connection is between the inhalation valve and the exhalation valve. ### Claim 8 An oxygen mask, comprising: a plate including: a central plate section including a first hinge, a second hinge, and a breathing bag connection spaced from the first hinge and the second hinge, the first hinge and the second hinge each formed as a film hinge; a first plate section connected to the central plate section by the first hinge, the first hinge thinner than the first plate section and the central plate section, an inhalation valve provided on the first plate section; and a second plate section connected to the central plate section by the second hinge, the second hinge thinner than the second plate section and the central plate section, an exhalation valve provided on the second plate section. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The oxygen mask of claim 8, comprising: the breathing bag connection is between the inhalation valve and the exhalation valve. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The oxygen mask of claim 8, comprising: a peripheral mask body injected on a side of the plate, the mask body made of silicone, the mask body has a lower wall thickness in a first region adjacent to the first hinge and a second region adjacent to the second hinge than a third region between the first region and the second region.
