  • Heat sink assembly
    Patent number: 6452803
    Abstract: A heat sink assembly includes a heat sink (10), and a clip (30). The heat sink includes a base (12) defining an annular groove (14), and a plurality of upwardly extending fins (16). A cavity (18) defined in the fins accommodates a fan (20). The clip includes a generally annular body (32), a first arm (34) pivotably attached to the body, and a second arm (42) fixedly attached to the body. The body defines a cutout (36) for facilitating elastic deformation thereof. The body further defines a pair of apertures (40), and the first arm forms a pair of projections (46). The first arm is rotated and the body is squeezed so that the projections are engaged in the apertures. The body is thereby securely received in the groove and engaged with the base. When the projections are disengaged from the apertures, the body is disengagable from the base.
