  • Publication number: 20070103873
    Abstract: A heat sink module has a heat sink, two arms and two fasteners. The arms are slidably mounted respectively in the heat sink to slide along pivotally to move to a certain position on a circuit board. The fasteners respectively extend through the arms and are fastened in the certain position on the circuit board to hold the heat sink on the circuit board. Because the heat sink only needs the arms and the fasteners to be held securely on the circuit board, the manufacturing and assembling procedures are effectively reduced.

  • Patent number: 7032650
    Abstract: A cooling fin set, which is disposed on a heat source of a computer, includes a plurality of cooling fins. Each cooling fin includes some fastening portions formed thereon. The fastening portions are folded from the outer periphery of the cooling fin to form a folded side and a hook. The folded side includes an opening for inserting therein a hook of an adjacent cooling fin. An obstacle is formed extended from the rear portion of the opening of the cooling fin. The hook is parallel to the cooling fin, and includes a locking groove formed at the central portion thereof. The locking groove is formed corresponding to the obstacle of the cooling fin for clamping therein the obstacle of the adjacent fin. In this manner, the combination of the cooling fins becomes securely tight. Therefore, the cooling fins will not fall apart due to the vibration in transportation.

  • Patent number: 6400572
    Abstract: A fastener for combining a heat sink with an integrated circuit comprises a lateral strip and a lever. The lateral strip has a main portion with a first end formed as a first buckle that defines an aperture and a second end formed as a link for pivotally connecting the lever. Two taps extend perpendicularly downward from the lateral strip. The lever has a bottom end formed as a second buckle that defines an opening. When the fastener is applied to the heat sink that contacts with an integrated circuit which is attached on an integrated circuit base, the first and second buckles clasp two hooks of the integrated circuit base hence the two taps tightly contact with the heat sink so as to enhance the heat dissipating efficiency.
