Abstract: A lubricating system for cooling fans is provided and mainly consists of a self-lubricating bearing, an oil retaining cap, and an oil retaining ring. The oil retaining ring has a central hole, an inner portion adjacent to the central hole and having a round cross section, and an outer flange portion integrally extended from the inner portion and having a concavo-concave cross section. The oil retaining cap is bowl-shaped and has a central opening, an inner convex portion, and an outer concave portion. The self-lubricating bearing has two end surfaces each of them being provided with a plurality of shallow bevel grooves inclining toward an axially extended shaft hole of the bearing, and an annular recess formed at a middle section of the shaft hole.

Abstract: A cooling device includes a fin unit with an upper side to which a fan unit is mounted and an underside to which a central processing unit is mounted. The fin unit includes a base plate and a plurality of fins projecting upwardly from an upper side of the base plate and extending parallel to a perimeter of the base plate thereby forming a frame-like structure with a second perimeter and defining a space therein. Four ledges are defined between the perimeter of the base plate and the perimeter of the fins. At least one hook member is formed on each of two opposed ledges and a slot is formed in the ledge adjacent to each hook member. A plurality of second fins project upwardly from the upper side of the base plate in the space defined by the first-mentioned fins, each second fin having a height less than that of the first fin for mounting the fan unit in the space above the second fins.
