  • Patent number: 7172017
    Abstract: This specification discloses a heat sink for coolers. The heat sink contains a heat conductive element, a heat dissipating shell covering over the heat conductive element, and a plurality of heat dissipating fins installed on the heat dissipating shell. The heat conductive element is comprised of a heat conductive plate and a heat conductive block installed at the center thereof. The area of the lower surface of the heat conductive block is greater than that of the upper surface thereof. When the lower surface of the heat conductive plate is in contact with a device that needs heat dissipation, the heat conductive block increases the heat conducting volume at the center of the heat conductive plate, so that the heat produced by the device can be released at an optimal rate.

  • Patent number: 6822869
    Abstract: A fastening device is used to tightly attach the heat sink on an electronic element. The fastening device includes an elastic arm, a first latch element and a second latch element. The elastic arm has a first axial part, a second axial part, and a press part. The first latch element is secured to one side of the socket for mounting the electronic element thereon and pivotally coupled to the first axial part, and the second latch element is pivotally coupled to the second axial part. As the elastic arm turns about the first latch element and crosses the heat sink, the second latch element is allowed to be fastened onto another side of the socket. Thus, the press part of the elastic arm would urge against the heat sink to enable the heat sink to be tightly attached on the electronic element.
