Abstract

Apparatus for generating a supply of air at positive pressure for the amelioration or treatment of a respiratory disorder, comprising: a housing including a housing inlet and a housing outlet; and internal components provided to the housing, the internal components forming at least a portion of a chamber, the internal components including at least a blower structured and configured to produce a flow of air at positive pressure and a plurality of inlet tubes structured and configured to allow ambient air to enter the chamber, wherein the blower includes a blower inlet and a blower outlet having a common axis, wherein the housing includes an end portion that provides both the housing inlet and the housing outlet, wherein the axis of the blower is substantially parallel with an axis of each of the plurality of inlet tubes, wherein the axis of the blower is substantially co-linear with an axis of the housing outlet, wherein the housing outlet comprises a tube portion structured and configured to communicate with an outlet bellows in communication with the blower outlet of the blower, and wherein the outlet bellows is configured to form a seal with an end of an air circuit.

Claims (6)

1. Apparatus for generating a supply of air at positive pressure for the amelioration or treatment of a respiratory disorder, comprising: a housing including a housing inlet and a housing outlet; and internal components provided to the housing, the internal components forming at least a portion of a chamber, the internal components including at least a blower structured and configured to produce a flow of air at positive pressure and a plurality of inlet tubes structured and configured to allow ambient air to enter the chamber, wherein the blower includes a blower inlet and a blower outlet having a common axis, wherein the housing includes an end portion that provides both the housing inlet and the housing outlet, wherein the axis of the blower is substantially parallel with an axis of each of the plurality of inlet tubes, wherein the axis of the blower is substantially co-linear with an axis of the housing outlet, wherein the housing outlet comprises a tube portion structured and configured to communicate with an outlet bellows in communication with the blower outlet of the blower, and wherein the outlet bellows is configured to form a seal with an end of an air circuit.
2. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein an air flow path extends from the housing inlet to the blower inlet and from the blower outlet to the housing outlet. JAWS Ref: 506133NZDIV2
3. The apparatus according to claim 1 or claim 2, wherein the housing inlet is configured to communicate with the plurality of inlet tubes.
4. The apparatus according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the housing inlet comprises a plurality of openings.
5. The apparatus according to any one of claims 1 to 4, further comprising a plurality of flow tubes structured and configured to allow air to exit the chamber, wherein the axis of the blower is substantially parallel with an axis of each of the plurality of flow tubes.
6. A system for treating a respiratory disorder, comprising: a patient interface structured and configured to form a seal with a patient’s face; the apparatus according to either one of claims 1 to 5; and an air circuit to connect the patient interface and the apparatus.
