  • Patent number: 8596596
    Abstract: The invention relates to a support device (1) of a motor of a blower. The support device (1) comprises a base (2), a ring (3) which extends according to an axis and which is able to house the motor. The support device (1) also comprises at least a decoupling means (4) which connects the base (2) and the ring (3). The ring (3) comprises a first face (5) extending according to the axis and the base (2) comprises a second face (10) extending according to the axis. The decoupling means (4) is interposed between the first (5) and the second (10) faces. The decoupling means may have an “H” shape in order to absorb the vibrations caused by the motor.
