First Claim
1. A gas delivery system comprising:
- an external housing;
a flow generator disposed in the external housing, wherein the flow generator includes a flow generator housing having a peripheral surface;
a vibration damper body disposed within the external housing and formed of one or more compliant materials shaped to be complementary to the peripheral surface of the flow generator housing so as to engage the peripheral surface of the flow generator housing, and wherein the vibration damper body and flow generator housing are configured to form, when engaged, an air gap between a lower housing portion of the flow generator housing and the vibration damper body.

Abstract
A gas delivery system comprising an external housing, a flow generator, and a vibration damper body. The flow generator is disposed in the external housing, and has a flow generator housing with a peripheral surface and a lower surface. The vibration damper body is disposed within the external housing and is formed of one or more compliant materials that are shaped to be complementary to the peripheral surface of the flow generator housing so as to engage the peripheral surface of the flow generator housing. The vibration damper body has a lower surface attached to a bottom surface of the external housing, and also has a peripheral surface formed such that at least one air gap is created between at least a portion of the vibration damper body and the external housing.
