Abstract

Abstract A heat-dissipating device for a central processing unit chip includes a plurality of heat-dissipating fins. Each fin has at least one through-hole, a lower edge, and a flange connected perpendicularly to the lower edge. At least one rod member passes through the through-hole of the fins so that the fins can be stacked together and spaced apart from one another by the flanges of the fins, with the lower edges of the fins being co-planar. Two connecting members are connected detachably to the two outermost fins. Two ends of the rod member pass through the connecting members. Each of the connecting members has a clamping portion which clamps onto the lower face of the chip so that the upper face of the chip can abut the lower edges of the fins.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 141 words
A heat-dissipating device for a central processing unit chip, the heat-dissipating device comprising: a plurality of heat-dissipating fins, each of said fins having at least one through-hole, a lower edge, and a flange connected perpendicularly to said lower edge; at least one rod member passing through said through-hole of said fins so that said fins can be stacked together and spaced apart from one another by said flanges, with said lower edges of said fins being co-planar; and two connecting members connected detachably and respectively to two outermost fins, two ends of said rod member passing respectively through said connecting members, each of said connecting members having a clamping portion which clamps onto a lower face of said central processing unit chip so that an upper face of said central processing unit chip can abut said lower edges of said fins.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 141 words
A heat-dissipating device for a central processing unit chip, the heat-dissipating device comprising: a plurality of heat-dissipating fins, each of said fins having at least one through-hole, a lower edge, and a flange connected perpendicularly to said lower edge; at least one rod member passing through said through-hole of said fins so that said fins can be stacked together and spaced apart from one another by said flanges, with said lower edges of said fins being co-planar; and two connecting members connected detachably and respectively to two outermost fins, two ends of said rod member passing respectively through said connecting members, each of said connecting members having a clamping portion which clamps onto a lower face of said central processing unit chip so that an upper face of said central processing unit chip can abut said lower edges of said fins.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 33 words
A heat-dissipating device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said lower edge of each of said fins has a notch which receives and engages an upper portion of said central processing unit chip.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 32 words
A heat-dissipating device as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of said fins has an upper edge, said upper edges of said fins being coplanar and having an axial fan mounted thereon.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 65 words
A heat-dissipating device as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of said fins has first and second apertures, and two positioning tube members connected to said first and second apertures, said first apertures being aligned and said second apertures being aligned one another, each of said positioning tube members having a diameter-reduced end which is inserted into an adjacent positioning member of an adjacent fin.
