Humidifier reservoir

A water reservoir for use with a respiratory pressure therapy (RPT) device for pressurising breathable air to treat a respiratory disorder in a patient, the water reservoir comprising:

• a water reservoir base configured to hold a volume of water to be used for humidification of the breathable air, the water reservoir base including a conductor plate constructed from a heat conducting material, wherein when the water reservoir is connected to a water reservoir dock associated with the RPT device, the conductor plate thermally engages with a heater plate of the water reservoir dock so as to allow transfer of heat from the heater plate to the conductor plate during operation of the heater plate;
• and
• a water reservoir lid connected to the water reservoir base;
• wherein the water reservoir includes a retainer to secure the water reservoir to the water reservoir dock,
• wherein the water reservoir lid and the water reservoir base are pivotably connected via a pair of joints positioned proximate a first end of the water reservoir,
• wherein the water reservoir comprises a latch to secure the water reservoir lid and the water reservoir base, the latch being positioned on the water reservoir proximate a second end that is opposite to the first end, and
• wherein the water reservoir includes a water reservoir inlet and a water reservoir outlet positioned on a common side wall of the water reservoir lid.
