Abstract
A fixing device for fixing a first element to a second element is provided. The fixing device includes a main body including at least one leg, at least one biasing member movably mounted on the at least one leg for generating a compressive force. At least one hook member rotatably connected to an end of the at least one leg, cooperating with the biasing member to fix the first element to the second element. A heat sink assembly using the fixing device are also provided.
Claims18
A fixing device for fixing a first element to a second element, the fixing device comprising:
- a main body comprising at least one first leg;
- at least one biasing member movably mounted on the at least one first leg for generating a compressive force;
- at least one hook member rotatably connected to an end of the at least one first leg, and capable of cooperating with the biasing member to fix the first element to the second element;
- and
- an operating member movably mounted on the main body for driving the at least one hook member to rotate relative to the end of the at least one first leg.
A heat sink assembly, comprising:
- a heat sink;
- a circuit board;
- and
- a fixing device connecting the heat sink to the circuit board, the fixing device comprising a main body comprising at least one leg, at least one biasing member movably mounted on the at least one leg for generating a compressive force, at least one hook member rotatably connected to an end of the at least one leg, and an operating member movably mounted on the main body for driving the at least one hook member to rotate relative to the end of the at least one first leg, the at least one biasing member compressing the heat sink and the circuit board against the at least one hook member, whereby the heat sink being connected to the circuit board.
