Heat dissipating structure for electronic apparatus

An electronic apparatus comprising:

• a case containing a heat-generative part;
• walls defining a passage in the case, the passage being adapted to carry a cooling medium therethrough;
• a fan for producing a flow of the cooling medium in the passage;
• and
• a circuit board serving as one of the walls and disposed with a heat-generative part mounted thereon such that at least part of the heat-generating part lies in the passage;
• wherein a heat generated by the heat-generative part is conveyed outside the case by the cooling medium flowing through the passage.

An electronic apparatus comprising:

• a first case containing a heat-generative part;
• a second case connected to the first case;
• a joint structure connecting together the first and the second case so that the first and the second case are able to turn relative to each other about a predetermined axis;
• a heat radiating means provided at the second case;
• and
• a hinge joint serving as at least part of the joint structure and being capable of transmitting heat, and the hinge joint having a bearing member thermally connected to one of both of the heat radiating means and the heat-generative part, and a heat transfer member having one side provided with a pivotal member pivotally fitted in the bearing member and the other side thermally connected to the other of both of the heat radiating means or the heat-generative part.

An electronic apparatus comprising:

• a first case containing a heat-generative part;
• a second case connected to the first case;
• a joint structure joining together the first and the second case so that the first and the second case are able to turn relative to each other about a predetermined axis;
• a heat radiating means provided at the second case;
• and
• a heat transfer member having opposite ends thermally connected respectively to the heat-generative part and the heat radiating means, the heat transfer member including a flexible section having a flexibility so as not to obstruct the turning of the first and the second case relative to each other.
