Abstract
A mechanical assembly, for regulating the temperature of an electronic device, includes a gimbal and a heat-exchanger which is attached to the gimbal. The gimbal includes a base member, a carrier member, and a spring which has—1) a first end with a rigid coupling to one of the base and carrier members, and 2) a second end with a slideable coupling to the remaining member. The slideable coupling prevents any gap from occurring between the heat-exchanger and the electronic device when they are pressed together.
Claims14
A mechanical assembly for regulating the temperature of an electronic device, said mechanical assembly being comprised of:
- a gimbal which includes a base member and a carrier member that is loosely held by said base member such that said carrier member can tilt and move relative to said base member by predetermined distances;
- a heat-exchanger, attached to said carrier member, which has a face for pressing against said electronic device;
- said gimbal further including a spring, between said base and carrier members, which urges said carrier member away from said base member;
- and,
- said spring having a first end with a rigid coupling to only one of said base and carrier members, and having a second end with a slideable coupling to the remaining member.
