Abstract

The systems disclosed herein relate to medical nebulizer systems, and more specifically interactive nebulizer compressors. In one embodiment an interactive nebulizer compressor includes an air compressor configured to output a pressurized gas. The embodiment further includes an enclosure surrounding the air compressor and a tubing coupler coupled to the enclosure. The tubing coupler can be further coupled to the air compressor and configured to cause the pressurized gas to be output from the enclosure. Lastly, the embodiment can include an interactive surface coupled to the enclosure.

Claims (9)

1. An interactive nebulizer compressor, comprising:

an air compressor configured to output a pressurized gas,

an enclosure surrounding the air compressor, the enclosure further comprising at least one surface, the at least one surface having a first surface area, configured to accept and secure toy building blocks, and

a tubing coupler coupled to the enclosure, the tubing coupler configured to accept the pressurized gas and output the pressurized gas into tubing coupled to the tubing coupler,

wherein the at least one surface is further configured to accept and secure a supplemental interactive surface, the supplemental interactive surface having a second surface area, configured to accent and secure toy building blocks, the second surface area being larger than the first surface area.

2. The interactive nebulizer compressor of claim 1 , wherein the enclosure further comprises at least one surface having a first plurality of pegs coupled to the enclosure, the first plurality of pegs configured to accept and secure at least one toy building block having at least one aperture similarly sized and shaped to at least one of the first plurality of pegs.

3. The interactive nebulizer compressor of claim 1 , further comprising:

a storage area within the enclosure, wherein at least one surface of the enclosure opens to provide access to the storage area.

4. The interactive nebulizer compressor of claim 1 , wherein the supplemental interactive surface comprises a second plurality of pegs coupled to the supplemental enclosure, the second plurality of pegs configured to accept and secure at least one toy building block having at least one aperture similarly sized and shaped to at least one of the second plurality of pegs.
