Fastener Engaged In Gaps Between Thin Sheets

Abstract

A fastener engaged in gaps between thin sheets for connecting for example a fan to a heatsink is disclosed herein, which includes a plurality of side plates defining a space between two adjacent side plates, and a connection board connecting the side plates at one side thereof. The connection board has a protrusion extending toward the space between the side plates. The side plates are engaged into the gaps between the thin sheets, such as fins of the heatsink, and the protrusions are engaged into other gaps for securing the fastener to the thin sheets, in such a way that the fan can be stably screwed to the connection board of the fasteners and further mounted to the heatsink.
