Abstract
A heat dissipating device includes a bottom assembly, a first light guide positioned on the bottom assembly, a first light assembly positioned on the first light guide, and an outer cover positioned on the bottom assembly and at least partially enclosing the bottom assembly, the first light guide, and the first light assembly. The outer cover defines a first opening on a top surface thereof, at least a portion of the first light guide is received in the first opening, and light from the first light assembly is emitted from the heat dissipating device through the exposed portion of the first light guide.
Claims42
A heat dissipating device, comprising:
- a bottom assembly;
- a first light guide positioned on the bottom assembly;
- a first light assembly including one or more light sources and positioned on the first light guide;
- and
- an outer cover positioned on the bottom assembly, the first light guide, and the first light assembly, the outer cover at least partially enclosing the bottom assembly, the first light guide, and the first light assembly, wherein:
- the outer cover defines a first opening on a top surface of the outer cover,
- an upper surface the first light guide is received in the first opening from within the outer cover, and
- light from the first light assembly is emitted from the heat dissipating device through the upper surface of the first light guide exposed through the first opening.
A heat dissipating device, comprising:
- a bottom assembly;
- a first light guide positioned on the bottom assembly, the first light guide including a circular protrusion on an upper surface of the first light guide and two curved protrusions extending radially outward from a circumferential edge of the first light guide;
- a first light assembly positioned on the first light guide;
- and
- an outer cover positioned on the bottom assembly and at least partially enclosing the bottom assembly, the first light guide, and the first light assembly, wherein:
- the outer cover defines a first opening on a top surface of the outer cover, and defines a second opening and a third opening on an outer circumferential surface of the outer cover and adjacent the top surface,
- at least a portion of the first light assembly is received in the first opening,
- the two curved protrusions are received in a corresponding one of the second opening and the third opening, and
- light from the first light assembly is emitted from the heat dissipating device through the portion of the first light assembly in the first opening and through the two curved protrusions.
A heat dissipating device, comprising:
- a bottom assembly;
- a first light guide positioned on the bottom assembly and including a circular protrusion on an upper surface of the first light guide and two curved protrusions extending radially from an outer circumferential end of the first light guide;
- a first light assembly positioned on the first light guide;
- a second light guide including a first curved part and a second curved part each disposed in the bottom assembly;
- a second light assembly disposed on the second light guide;
- and
- an outer cover positioned on the bottom assembly and at least partially enclosing the bottom assembly, the first light guide, the first light assembly, the second light guide, and the second light assembly, wherein:
- the outer cover defines a first opening on a top surface of the outer cover, a second opening and a third opening on an outer circumferential surface of the outer cover and adjacent the top surface, and a fourth opening and a fifth opening on the outer circumferential surface of the outer cover and adjacent a lower end of the outer cover,
- at least a portion of the first light assembly is received in the first opening,
- the two curved protrusions are received in a corresponding one of the second opening and the third opening,
- the first and second curved parts are received in a corresponding one of the fourth opening and the fifth opening, and
- light from the first light assembly is emitted from the heat dissipating device through the portion of the first light assembly in the first opening, through the two curved protrusions, and through the first and second curved parts.
A heat dissipating device, comprising:
- a bottom assembly;
- a first light guide positioned on the bottom assembly;
- a first light assembly positioned on the first light guide;
- and
- an outer cover positioned on the bottom assembly and at least partially enclosing the bottom assembly, the first light guide, and the first light assembly, wherein:
- the outer cover defines a first opening on a top surface of the outer cover,
- at least a portion of the first light guide is received in the first opening, and
- light from the first light assembly is emitted from the heat dissipating device through the portion of the first light guide exposed by the first opening,
- the bottom assembly includes:
- an inlet unit fluidly coupled to an inlet of the heat dissipating device;
- and
- a base including a stator portion and a rotor portion, the rotor portion including a plurality of blades disposed on a top circular plate of the rotor portion, and
- wherein two of (1) the plurality of blades, (2) an inner circumferential surface of the inlet unit and a top surface of a rim of the inlet unit, and (3) the top circular plate have contrasting colors with respect to each other.
