Pump With Vibration Isolators - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240011476 titled 'Pump With Vibration Isolators

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an apparatus that includes a housing with an interior, an air pump positioned inside the housing, and a plurality of resilient connectors that connect the air pump to the housing. These connectors are in tension to reduce the transmission of vibration from the air pump to the housing during its operation.

  • The apparatus is designed to reduce vibration transmission from an air pump to its housing.
  • The housing has an interior where the air pump is positioned.
  • The air pump is connected to the housing using resilient connectors.
  • The resilient connectors are in tension to minimize the transmission of vibration.
  • This innovation aims to improve the overall performance and reduce noise of the air pump.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Industrial air compressors
  • HVAC systems
  • Vacuum pumps
  • Medical equipment
  • Automotive air pumps

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Reduces vibration transmission, which can cause noise and damage to the housing and surrounding components.
  • Improves the overall performance and efficiency of the air pump.
  • Enhances user experience by minimizing noise and vibration.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Reduced noise levels during operation.
  • Increased durability of the housing and surrounding components.
  • Improved performance and efficiency of the air pump.
  • Enhanced user comfort and satisfaction.
