Abstract: An engaging member is provided for securing a heat dissipating device to an electronic device. The engaging member includes a retaining section, two inclined sections respectively extending outwardly and upwardly from ends of the retaining section along a longitudinal direction of the retaining section, two vertical sections each having an engaging section to releasably secure the heat dissipating device and the integrated circuit together, and an intermediate section interconnected between each inclined sections and an associated vertical section. At least one of the inclined sections includes a first slot, and the associated vertical section includes a second slot in alignment with the first slot. The first slot and the second slot are to be extended by a disengagement member to disengage the engaging member from the electronic device, thereby allowing disengagement of the heat dissipating device from the electronic device.

Abstract: A heat dissipating fan/integrated circuit assembly includes a connector mounted on a printed circuit board and having two protrusions respectively projecting outwardly from two opposite sides thereof, an integrated circuit securely mounted to an upper side of the connector thereof, a fin mounted to an upper side of the integrated circuit, a fan device mounted on top of the fin and including two slots defined therein, and two engaging members respectively extending through the associated slots. Each engaging member includes an engaging hole defined in a lower end thereof for releasably engaging with the associated protrusion of the connector. An elastic member is mounted between each engaging member and the fan device to bias the associated engaging member away from the fan device, thereby providing a secure engagement between each protrusion and the associated engaging hole.
