Abstract
A clip includes a main body, a pair of locking members integrally formed at opposite ends of the main body, and a securing member secured onto one of the locking members. The one locking member includes an upper portion, a lower portion wider than the upper portion, and a step between the upper and lower portions. The securing member includes a handling portion and an engaging portion extending downwardly from the handling portion. A pair of flanges are formed on the engaging portion facing the main body and abutting the step. A clearance is defined between the flanges and the engaging portion receiving the upper portion. One of the engaging portion and the one locking member forms an engaging hole, and the other one forms a hook engaging into the engaging hole.
Claims13
A clip for securing a heat sink to a heat generating electronic component, comprising:
- an elongated main body, the main body being V-shaped and resilient;
- a pair of locking members integrally and respectively formed at two opposite ends of the main body, each of the pair of locking members defining a locking hole therein, one of the pair of locking members having an upper portion, a lower portion with a width larger than that of the upper portion, a step formed at a junction of the upper and lower portions, and an engaging hole located above and opening into the locking hole of the one of the pair of locking members;
- and
- a securing member secured onto the one of the pair of locking members, the securing member comprising a handling portion, an engaging portion extending downwardly from the handling portion, and a pair of flanges formed at front and rear sides of the engaging portion, respectively, facing the main body and abutting the step, a clearance being defined between the flanges and the engaging portion receiving the upper portion of the one of the pair of locking members, and the engaging portion forming a hook located at the side of the engaging portion facing the main body and engaging into the engaging hole of the one of the pair of locking members, the engaging hole and the hook being higher than the locking hole.
A heat dissipation device, comprising:
- a heat sink comprising a plurality of stacked fins, a groove extending through the heat sink;
- and
- a clip comprising an elongated resilient main body received in the groove of the heat sink, a pair of locking members integrally extending from the main body and located at two opposite sides of the heat sink, and a securing member secured onto one of the pair of locking members, the one of the pair of locking members comprising an upper portion, a lower portion with a width larger than that of the upper portion, a step formed at a junction of the upper and lower portions, a locking hole, and an engaging hole located above and opening into the locking hole, the securing member comprising a handling portion, an engaging portion extending downwardly from the handling portion, the engaging portion forming a hook engaging into the engaging hole of the one of the pair of locking members, the hook is located at a lateral side of the engaging portion facing the main body, and a pair of flanges formed at front and rear sides of the engaging portion, respectively, facing the main body and abutting the step, a clearance being defined between the flanges and the engaging portion receiving the upper portion of the one of the pair of locking members.
A clip for securing a heat sink to a heat generating electronic component, the clip comprising:
- an elongated main body, the main body being V-shaped and resilient;
- a pair of locking members integrally and respectively formed at two opposite ends of the main body, each of the pair of locking members defining a locking hole therein, one of the pair of locking members having an upper portion, a lower portion with a width larger than that of the upper portion, a step formed at a junction of the upper and lower portions, and a hook, a bottom edge of the hook being substantially at the same level as a top edge of the locking hole;
- and
- a securing member secured onto the one of the pair of locking members, the securing member comprising a handling portion, an engaging portion extending downwardly from the handling portion, and a pair of flanges formed at front and rear sides of the engaging portion, respectively, facing the main body and abutting the step, a clearance being defined between the flanges and the engaging portion defining an engaging hole, the engaging hole receiving the hook of the one of the pair of locking members.
