  • Wire-spring retained heatsink installation and removal tool
    Patent number: 10542638
    Abstract: A wire-spring retained heatsink installation and removal tool for installing and removing wire-spring retained heatsinks. The wire-spring retained heatsink installation and removal tool includes a shaped portion that, when placed over a section of a torsion spring of a wire-spring retained heatsink, allows a force to be applied to the torsion spring such that a hook end of the torsion spring is forced into an associated hook on an assembly on which the wire-spring retained heatsink is being attached. The wire-spring retained heatsink installation and removal tool includes a handle that couples to the shaped portion thereby allowing a user to grasp the wire-spring retained heatsink installation and removal tool in order to apply the force necessary to engage the hook end of the torsion spring into the associated hook on the assembly on which the wire-spring retained heatsink is being attached.
    Type: Grant
