Abstract
A clip includes a body, an actuating member, a first hook plate and a second hook plate. The body includes a supporting portion and a pair of spaced arms extending from opposite sides of the supporting portion. The actuating member includes a cam supported on the supporting portion. The first hook plate is detachably coupled to a distal end of the arms of the body. The second hook plate extends through the supporting portion and is pivotally coupled to the cam of the actuating member. The actuating member is turnable relative to the second hook plate between a locked position and an unlocked position.
Claims13
A clip, comprising:
- a body comprising a supporting portion and a pair of spaced arms extending from opposite sides of the supporting portion and interconnecting with each other only at one end of the body via the supporting portion;
- an actuating member having a cam supported on the supporting portion;
- a first hook plate detachably coupled to a distal end of the arms of the body;
- and
- a second hook plate extending through the supporting portion and pivotally coupled to the cam of the actuating member;
- wherein the actuating member is turnable relative to the second hook plate between a locked position and an unlocked position.
A heat dissipation device assembly, comprising:
- a heat dissipation device comprising:
- a heat sink comprising a base in thermal contact with an electronic component and a plurality of fins on the base, at least a passage being defined in the fins;
- a fan mounted on an upper side of the heat sink;
- a clip attached to and securing the heat dissipation device onto the electronic component, the clip comprising:
- a body comprising a supporting portion and a pair of spaced arms extending from opposite sides of the supporting portion through the at least a passage of the heat sink and interconnecting with each other only at one end of the body via the supporting portion;
- an actuating member having a cam supported on the supporting portion;
- a first hook plate detachably coupled to an end of the arms of the body distant from the supporting portion;
- a second hook plate extending through the supporting portion of the body and pivotally coupled to the cam of the actuating member, wherein the actuating member is turnable relative to the second hook plate between a locked position and an unlocked position;
- wherein when the clip is to be detached from the heat dissipation device, the first hook plate is firstly decoupled from the distant end of the arms before the arms are withdrawn from the at least a passage of the heat sink.
