Abstract
Abstract A structure for mounting a heat sink onto an integrated circuit package mounted on a printed circuit board is constructed such that a guide member having a frame portion and support post portions is fixed to the printed circuit board, and the heat sink is seated on an inner periphery of the guide member such that the heat sink may closely contact the integrated circuit package. A cover is fixed to the guide member such that it covers outer peripheral edge portions of an upper face of the heat sink. This structure is high in cooling efficiency and is easy to mount.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
189 words
A heat sink, comprising: a base member having a lower face adapted to be in contact with an upper face of an integrated circuit package and having an upper face from which a plurality of heat radiation fins extend; an air blasting device including a motor having a rotary shaft and blades located around the rotary shaft, to blast air to said heat radiation fins of said base member, said air blasting device being disposed above a set of said plurality of heat radiation fins, a diameter of said air blasting device being substantially smaller than a width of said base member to provide a region between said air blasting device and an outer periphery of said base member, said set of said plurality of heat radiation fins located below said air blasting device being shorter than another set of said plurality of heat radiation fins located at a different position; and a cover having a lower face from which said air blasting device extends, said cover mounted to close an upper portion of said region between said air blasting device and said outer periphery of said base member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
189 words
A heat sink, comprising: a base member having a lower face adapted to be in contact with an upper face of an integrated circuit package and having an upper face from which a plurality of heat radiation fins extend; an air blasting device including a motor having a rotary shaft and blades located around the rotary shaft, to blast air to said heat radiation fins of said base member, said air blasting device being disposed above a set of said plurality of heat radiation fins, a diameter of said air blasting device being substantially smaller than a width of said base member to provide a region between said air blasting device and an outer periphery of said base member, said set of said plurality of heat radiation fins located below said air blasting device being shorter than another set of said plurality of heat radiation fins located at a different position; and a cover having a lower face from which said air blasting device extends, said cover mounted to close an upper portion of said region between said air blasting device and said outer periphery of said base member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
A heat sink according to claim 1, further comprising at least a second said air blasting device.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
216 words
A heat sink, comprising: a base member having a lower face adapted to be in contact with an upper face of an integrated circuit package and having an upper face from which a plurality of heat radiation fins extend; an air blasting device, including a motor having a rotary shaft and blades located around the rotary shaft, to blast air to said heat radiation fins of said base member, said air blasting device being disposed above a set of said plurality of heat radiation fins, a diameter of said air blasting device being substantially smaller than a width of said base member to provide a region between said air blasting device and an outer periphery of said base member, said set of said plurality of heat radiation fins located below said air blasting device being shorter than another set of said plurality of heat radiation fins located at a different position; a cover having a lower face from which said air blasting device extends, said cover mounted to close an upper portion of said region between said air blasting device and said outer periphery of said base member; and a separator formed from a portion of a cylinder which extends from said upper face of said base member along a locus of rotation of said blades.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
216 words
A heat sink, comprising: a base member having a lower face adapted to be in contact with an upper face of an integrated circuit package and having an upper face from which a plurality of heat radiation fins extend; an air blasting device, including a motor having a rotary shaft and blades located around the rotary shaft, to blast air to said heat radiation fins of said base member, said air blasting device being disposed above a set of said plurality of heat radiation fins, a diameter of said air blasting device being substantially smaller than a width of said base member to provide a region between said air blasting device and an outer periphery of said base member, said set of said plurality of heat radiation fins located below said air blasting device being shorter than another set of said plurality of heat radiation fins located at a different position; a cover having a lower face from which said air blasting device extends, said cover mounted to close an upper portion of said region between said air blasting device and said outer periphery of said base member; and a separator formed from a portion of a cylinder which extends from said upper face of said base member along a locus of rotation of said blades.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
26 words
A heat sink according to claim 1, wherein said cover is mounted to top portions of said another set of said plurality of heat radiation fins.
