Anti-vibration brackets for blower assembly of hvac system

Abstract

An arrangement for mounting a blower assembly of an HVAC unit. The arrangement comprises a fixture, and one or more support brackets coupled to the fixture and the blower assembly. The one or more support brackets are designed so as to absorb vibrations caused due to operation of the blower assembly or during transportation.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An arrangement for mounting a blower assembly of an HVAC unit, the arrangement comprising:
 a fixture configured to support the blower assembly; and   one or more support brackets coupled to the fixture and the blower assembly, the one or more support brackets configured to absorb vibrations caused during to operation of the blower assembly or during transportation.   
     
     
         2 . The arrangement of  claim 1 , wherein the blower assembly is coupled to the fixture via the one or more support brackets. 
     
     
         3 . The arrangement of  claim 1 , wherein the support bracket comprises at least two Z-shaped panels attached to each other. 
     
     
         4 . The arrangement of  claim 3 , wherein the at least two Z-shaped panels are attached to form a closed rectangular profile with a flange extending from both ends in opposite directions. 
     
     
         5 . The arrangement of  claim 1 , wherein the support bracket is a unibody structure having a substantial rectangular profile. 
     
     
         6 . The arrangement of  claim 5 , wherein the one or more support bracket has a substantially hollow profile to further aid in reducing stresses induced by the blower assembly. 
     
     
         7 . The arrangement of  claim 1 , wherein the fixture includes a vertical surface and a horizontal surface configured to support the blower assembly, and wherein the one or more support brackets are coupled to a vertical surface of the fixture. 
     
     
         8 . The arrangement of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more support bracket abuts the blower assembly to absorb vibrations from the blower assembly. 
     
     
         9 . The arrangement of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more support bracket is spaced away from the blow assembly to provide stability to the fixture. 
     
     
         10 . An arrangement for mounting a blower assembly of an HVAC unit, the arrangement comprising:
 a fixture having a horizontal surface and a vertical surface forming an L-shaped platform supporting the blower assembly; and   one or more support brackets coupled to the vertical surface of fixture, the one or more support brackets configured to absorb vibrations caused during to operation of the blower assembly or during transportation.   
     
     
         11 . The arrangement of  claim 1 , wherein the blower assembly is coupled to the fixture via the one or more support brackets. 
     
     
         12 . The arrangement of  claim 1 , wherein the support bracket comprises at least two Z-shaped panels attached to each other. 
     
     
         13 . The arrangement of  claim 3 , wherein the at least two Z-shaped panels are attached to form a closed rectangular profile with a flange extending from both ends in opposite directions. 
     
     
         14 . The arrangement of  claim 1 , wherein the support bracket is a unibody structure having a substantial rectangular profile. 
     
     
         15 . The arrangement of  claim 5 , wherein the one or more support bracket has a substantially hollow profile to further aid in reducing stresses induced by the blower assembly. 
     
     
         16 . The arrangement of  claim 1 , wherein a first support bracket is positioned on a first side of the blower assembly and a second support bracket is positioned on a second side of the blower assembly. 
     
     
         17 . The arrangement of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more support bracket abuts the blower assembly to absorb vibrations from the blower assembly. 
     
     
         18 . The arrangement of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more support bracket is spaced away from the blow assembly to provide stability to the fixture. 
     
     
         19 . An arrangement for mounting a blower assembly of an HVAC unit, the arrangement comprising:
 a fixture having a horizontal surface and a vertical surface forming an L-shaped platform supporting the blower assembly; and   one or more support brackets coupled to the fixture and the blower assembly along a portion of the blower assembly that meets with the fixture, the one or more support brackets configured to absorb vibrations caused during to operation of the blower assembly or during transportation, wherein the one or more support bracket is substantially hollow.   
     
     
         20 . The arrangement of  claim 1 , wherein the support bracket comprises at least two Z-shaped panels attached to each other to form a rectangular profile.
