Abstract: A heat sink assembly includes a thermally conductive support member configured to be attached to a heat source and a heat sink. An adjustable mechanism is configured to moveably connect the thermally conductive support member to the heat sink. The adjustable mechanism permits the heat source to be moved relative to the heat sink without requiring access to the adjustable mechanism. The heat sink assembly provides a mechanically adjustable and supportive system having a thermally conductive path for heat removal from the object. The integral movable adjustment mechanism permits the thermally conductive member to translate without loss of the thermal path between the two ends. The heat source can move and become rigidly fixed in location without direct access. A compression mechanism may provide a continuous force between the support member and the heat sink as the support member is translated to permit movement of the heat generating source.
