Blower housing with maximized interior spacing

A blower for a climate control device having a surface for mounting the blower to the device, the blower comprising:

• a blower housing top piece having a peripheral edge that extends around the top piece, a shaft hole extending through the top piece and a plurality of mounting fittings spatially arranged around the shaft hole for attaching a motor to the top piece with a shaft of the motor passing through the shaft hole,
• a blower housing annular wall having a volute shape with a discharge pipe projecting from the annular wall, the annular wall extending around the peripheral edge of the top piece;
• and,
• a plurality of legs spatially arranged around the peripheral edge of the top piece and projecting outwardly from the peripheral edge and outwardly from the annular wall, the legs extending from the top piece peripheral edge across the annular wall to support the top piece in a horizontal orientation above the annular wall and the climate control device surface when the blower is mounted on the device surface.

A blower for a climate control device having a surface with a plurality of mounting holes arranged in a pattern on the surface for mounting the blower to the surface of the device, the blower comprising:

• a blower housing annular wall having a volute shape with a discharge pipe projecting from the annular wall, the annular wall being dimensioned to be positioned on the device surface inside the pattern of the plurality of mounting holes;
• a blower housing top piece extending across the annular wall, the blower housing top piece having a plurality of lug holes spatially arranged outside the annular wall and in a pattern that aligns each lug hole with a mounting hole on the device surface when mounting the blower to the device surface, each of the lug holes having an oblong shape;
• and,
• a blower housing bottom piece extending across the annular wall on an opposite side of the annular wall from the blower housing top piece, the bottom piece having a plurality of flange holes spatially arranged outside the annular wall and in a pattern that aligns each flange hole with a mounting hole on the device surface when mounting the blower to the device surface, and each of the flange holes having an oblong shape.
