Abstract

A portable air compressor which operates from a cigarette lighter socket is housed in a generally triangular casing having a luminescent triangular hazard warning on at least one surface. The casing includes a lower compartment in which the compressor and motor are stored and an upper compartment in which the power cord and air hose are stored. The two compartments are separated by a horizontal wall having a plurality of slots defined therethrough to provide adequate ventilation between the compartments. Flip-up access panels in the sidewalls provide easy access to the top compartment for deployment of the air hose and power cord. Openings in the front and rear walls at the top and bottom of the housing assure ample ingress of air, both to supply the compressor and to establish a convective cooling flow through the compartments and the slotted wall.
