  • Publication number: 20050111196
    Abstract: A fastening structure used for fastening a heat sink to a heat generating device formed on a board is disclosed. The heat sink has a plurality of vertically extending fins spaced by each other by a first gap, and the fastening structure has a pair of blocking members applied to two outermost fins of the heat sink. Each of the blocking members has a horizontal plate, a pair of arms extending from two opposing sides of the horizontal plate, a vertical plate extending perpendicularly from one end of the horizontal plate, a pair of wings extending from two opposing sides of the vertical plates, and a pair of resilient flaps extending from top edges of the wings. Each of the arms is terminated with a hook, and each of the block members further has a pair of loops formed on the board, such that by engaging the hooks with the loops, the fastening structure secures the heat sink to the heat generating device on the board.

  • Publication number: 20050109488
    Abstract: A heat dissipating device which has a fastening structure and a heat sink is disclosed. The heat sink has a thermal conductive base which has a top surface and two T-shape slots formed at two opposing ends of the top surface. The fastening structure has a pair of brackets. Each of the brackets has a planar plate and a T-shape arm to be inserted into the corresponding T-shape slot. The T-shape arms are hinged with one end of the planar plates, such that when the T-shape arms are inserted into the T-shape slots, the planar plates extend horizontally at a level lower than the top surface of the base. Each of the planar plates has a through hole through which the fastening structure can be mounted to a board by a fastener. Preferably, the heat sink further has a plurality of fins mounted to the top surface of the base. Each of the fins has a notch recessed from a bottom edge thereof.

  • Patent number: 6672379
    Abstract: A radiator with positioning and buckling structure includes multiple metal plates, each of which has a main body, and a folded side portion is connected to one or two sides of the main body. The positioning and buckling structure is disposed on each of the metal plates. The positioning and buckling structure includes a snapping piece extending from the folded side portion. The snapping piece has a cleaved groove thereon and at two sides of the snapping piece there is provided two hooking portions. A buckling slot is disposed on the folded side portion of the metal plate corresponding to the snapping piece. The buckling slot is connected to a rear opening having a smaller width than the width of the snapping piece so that the metal plates can be stacked together.

  • Patent number: 6542370
    Abstract: A heat dissipating device has a conductor holder and a heat conductor. The conductor holder is securely attached to the CPU base and has a through hole. The heat conductor is securely connected to the through hole in the conductor holder and contacts with the CPU. The heat conductor comprises multiple heat conductive elements made of a material with good heat conductivity. One end of the heat conductive elements are twisted together to form a bound section on the first end of the heat conductor. The other end of each heat conductive element is far away from the other element so as to form an expansion section on a second end of the heat conductor. In such an arrangement, the heat generated by the CPU can be efficiently dissipated from the expansion section of the heat conductor.
