  • Publication number: 20110186268
    Abstract: A flat type heat pipe device includes a packaging unit and a bonding member. The packaging unit further includes a first shell member and a second shell member. The first shell member has a work zone, a first joining part surrounding the work zone and an upright stop part disposed between the work zone and the joining part. The second shell member provides a shape corresponding to the first shell member to cover the first shell member and has a shell lid part spacing apart from the work zone and a second joining part disposed on the first joining part. The bonding member is disposed between the first joining part and the second joining part to adhere the first joining part to the second joining part. When the first shell member is pressingly fit with second shell member, the stop part is capable of preventing the bonding member from entering the packaging unit.
