Compressors are provided which include a motor having a drive shaft; a
compression chamber, having an inlet and an outlet; a diaphragm, disposed
within the compression chamber such that when the diaphragm is deflected
back and forth between a first position and a second position air is
drawn in through the inlet and forced out through the outlet; a
crankshaft, operatively connected to the drive shaft; a shuttle,
configured to be displaced transversely by rotational movement of the
crankshaft, and positioned to deflect the diaphragm by its transverse
movement; and a guide configured to inhibit non-transverse motion of the
shuttle. In some implementations, the compressor occupies a total volume
of less than about 15 cubic inches.
