First Claim
Patent Images
1. A flow generator, comprising:
- a housing;
a blower structured to generate a flow of pressurized breathable air to be provided to an air flow path; and
a suspension device to support the blower within the housing and provide a pressure seal between low and high pressure sides of the blower,wherein the suspension device includes a bellows-like portion provided along a perimeter of the blower to absorb shock applied at least radially to the blower and one or more cones provided along upper and/or lower sides of the blower to absorb shock applied at least axially to the blower.
