  • Publication number: 20090238685
    Abstract: A body has a back and parallel front. The back of the body defines an air inlet and a peripheral air outlet is associated with the front. A body chamber between the back and the front is in fluid communication with the air inlet and the air outlet. A structurally prominent faceplate is on the body proximate to the peripheral air outlet and bears a transforming aesthetic overlay. An air displacement unit is formed of a plurality of blades rotatable in a plane parallel with the back and the front. The air displacement unit is substantially concealed within the body chamber and is configured to accept air from the air inlet and urge the air through the air outlet.

  • Publication number: 20060147316
    Abstract: A quiet fluid compressor which is made up of a motor, a compressor, and a storage tank. The motor and the compressor are cylindrical in shape and are joined to each other. The tank is cylindrical in shape and has a central open area going from the top to the bottom of the tank. The compressor/motor unit fits within this open area. The tank surrounding the compressor/motor unit absorbs noise created by the compressor. There is a top opening of the central open area. This opening is covered by a louvered cover containing sound-absorbing foam which prevents emanation of sound. There is a bottom covering containing a plurality of openings which breaks up the sound and prevents redirection of sound through the top opening. The inside of the tank is coated with sound-absorbing foam.
