The invention relates to a portable spray apparatus having a carrier frame, a blower and a storage vessel for a medium to be discharged. An upper unit with the storage vessel and a lower unit with the blower are retained on the carrier frame. The two units are located in the vertical direction of the carrier frame at a spacing (z) from each other. The spacing (z) is selected so that a movement gap is formed between the upper unit and the lower unit. To limit the resilient deflection of the upper unit, there is arranged on one of the units a damping stop which limits the movement gap and damps a resilient deflection of the upper unit by abutment of the damping stop on the other one of the units.
