Abstract

A blower housing having a resilient bottom piece and a rigid top piece assembling with the bottom piece is provided. The top piece includes a plurality of depending legs which are urged against a matching plurality of flanges formed in the resilient bottom piece to cushion mount the top piece to a furnace or the like. A plurality of mechanical fasteners such as screws or the like extend through a plurality of lugs on the top piece and through the flanges to urge the depending legs against the flanges and the furnace. Through this construction, a generally rigid connection between the motor mounting plate and the furnace is achieved while providing the sound and vibration attenuation of a resilient housing.
