The system comprises a first member and a second member. The first member is configured to be releasably fastened to the wheelchair. The first member comprises a first coupler structure. The second member is coupled with the ventilator. The second member comprises a second coupler structure that is configured to be releasably coupled with the first coupler structure to mount the ventilator on the wheelchair. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A system for mounting a ventilator on a wheelchair, the system comprising: a first member configured to be releasably fastened to the wheelchair, the first member comprising a first coupler structure; and a second member coupled with the ventilator, the second member comprising a second coupler structure that is configured to be releasably coupled with the first coupler structure to mount the ventilator on the wheelchair; wherein the first member comprises one or more strap members and one or more interengaging fastener elements that are configured to releasably fasten the first member to a portion of the wheelchair; and wherein each of the first coupler structure and the second coupler structure comprises one of hook elements or loop elements that are complimentary to one another and configured to releasably mount the ventilator behind a backrest of the wheelchair. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more strap members are configured to be adjustable in their length to releasably fasten the first member to the portion of the wheelchair. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the system is configured to mount the ventilator on a second wheelchair, the second wheelchair having different shape and configuration than the wheelchair. ### Claim 4 A method for mounting a ventilator on a wheelchair, the method comprising: releasably fastening a first member to the wheelchair, the first member comprising a first coupler structure; coupling a second member with the ventilator, the second member comprising a second coupler structure; and releasably coupling the second coupler structure with the first coupler structure to mount the ventilator on the wheelchair; wherein the first member comprises one or more strap members and one or more interengaging fastener elements that are configured to releasably fasten the first member to a portion of the wheelchair; and wherein each of the first coupler structure and the second coupler structure comprises one of hook elements or loop elements that are complimentary to one another and configured to releasably mount the ventilator behind a backrest of the wheelchair. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The method of claim 4, wherein the one or more strap members are configured to be adjustable in their length to releasably fasten the first member to the portion of the wheelchair. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The method of claim 4, further comprising: releasing the second coupler structure from the first coupler structure to remove the ventilator from the wheelchair; releasably fastening the first member to a second wheelchair, the second wheelchair having different shape and configuration than the wheelchair; and releasably coupling the second coupler structure with the first coupler structure to mount the ventilator on the second wheelchair. ### Claim 7 A system for mounting a ventilator on a wheelchair, the system comprising means for releasably fastening to the wheelchair, the means for releasably fastening comprising a first means for releasably coupling; and means for coupling with the ventilator, the means for coupling comprising a second means for releasably coupling that is configured to be releasably coupled with the first means for releasably coupling to mount the ventilator on the wheelchair; wherein the means for releasably fastening comprises one or more strap members and one or more interengaging fastener elements that are configured to releasably fasten the means for releasably fastening to a portion of the wheelchair; and wherein each of the first and second means for releasably coupling comprises one of hook elements or loop elements that are complimentary to one another and configured to releasably mount the ventilator behind a backrest of the wheelchair. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The system of claim 7, wherein the one or more strap members are configured to be adjustable in their length to releasably fasten the first member to the portion of the wheelchair. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The system of claim 7, wherein each of the first means for releasably coupling and the second means for releasably coupling comprises one or more coupler elements, and wherein the one or more coupler elements of the first means for releasably coupling are configured to releasably couple with the one or more coupler elements of the second means for releasably coupling to mount the ventilator on the wheelchair. ### Claim 10 (depends on 7) The system of claim 7, wherein the system is configured to mount the ventilator on a second wheelchair, the second wheelchair having different shape and configuration than the wheelchair.
