Abstract
A clip (10) secures a pin fin heat sink (12) to a fan (11). The clip includes a frame having a width which can be wedged between the fins of the heat sink (12). Blades (24) extend downwardly from the frame and bear against the heat sink fins to secure the frame to the heat sink (12). The clip (10) is locked in place by barbs which extend upwardly to engage the fins of the heat sink (12) when the clip (10) is urged in a direction which would free it of the heat sink (12).
Claims
1. (Amended) A clip for securing a heat sink having upstanding parallel fins to a fan for cooling said heat sink comprising:
a frame having a width adapted to be wedged between said fins of said heat sink;
means for securing said fan to said frame including upstanding corner posts on said frame adapted to engage said fan to secure it to said frame; and
a blade extending downwardly from said frame adapted to bear against said fins to secure said frame to said heat sink, said blade having a downwardly facing arcuate cut-out which accommodates a wire clip adapted for securing said heat sink to a socket.
2. The clip recited in claim 1 wherein said frame includes two blades extending downwardly from opposite sides of said frame.
3. (Canceled)
4. (Canceled)
5. (Amended) The clip recited in claim 1 further comprising:
means adapted to lock said frame between the fins of said heat sink.
6. A clip for securing a heat sink having upstanding parallel fins to a fan for cooling said heat sink comprising:
a frame having a width adapted to be wedged between said fins of said heat sink; means adapted to secure said fan to said frame including upstanding corner posts on said frame to engage said frame to secure it to said frame;
a blade extending downwardly from said frame to bear against said fins to secure said frame to said heat sink; and
tabs extending from said blade for locking said frame adapted to lock between the fins of said heat sink, said tabs extending upwardly and outwardly from a bend line along which said tabs are bent out of the plane of said blade to lockingly engage said fins against movement in the upward direction.
7. The clip recited in claim 1 wherein said frame is resilient metal.
8. The clip recited in claim 7 wherein said frame is formed from a sheet of said resilient metal.
9. (Amended) The clip recited in claim 8 wherein the width of said sheet forms said bladessaid blades being adapted to fit between said columns of pin fins.
10. (Amended) The clip recited in claim 1 wherein said blade is adapted to span at least two rows of pin fins.
11. The clip recited in claim 6 wherein said blade has a downwardly facing arcuate cut-out which
accommodates a wire clip for securing said heat sink to a socket.
12. (Amended) The clip recited in claim 1 wherein said means for securing said fan to said frame includes upstanding corner posts adapted to engage said fan to secure it to said frame.
13. The clip recited in claim 12 wherein each corner post is bifurcated.
14. The clip recited in claim 13 wherein each corner post has a barb at the top thereof.
15. The clip recited in claim 1 wherein at least one edge of said frame is turned upwardly to form a
strengthening rib to provide stability to said frame.
16. An assembly including:
a pin fin heat sink having upstanding
parallel fins;
a fan for cooling said heat sink;
a socket;
an electronic device between said socket and said heat sink; and
a clip for securing said heat sink to said fan comprising:
a frame having a width which can be wedged between said fins of said heat sink;
means on said frame for securing said fan to said frame; and
a blade extending downwardly from said frame, said blade bearing against said fins to secure said frame to said heat sink, said blade having a downwardly facing arcuate cut-out which accommodates said wire clip to trap said wire clip in said heat sink.
17. (Newly added) The clip recited in claim 5, wherein said means adapted to lock includes tabs extending from said blade, said tabs extending upwardly and outwardly from a bend line along which said tabs are bent out of the plane of said blade to lockingly engage said fins against movement in the upward direction.
