Abstract
Abstract A fan assembly for an integrated circuit includes a finned plate, a board member securely mounted to the finned plate and including a hole defined in a mediate portion thereof, a fan device, and a heat conducting member. The finned plate includes a plurality of rows and columns of fins extending upwardly from an upper side thereof and a space defined in a center of the upper side, each two adjacent fins having a gap defined therebetween. The fan device is mounted to the board member and has a fan rotatably received in the space of the finned plate. The heat conducting member is securely connected to the finned plate or an integrated circuit.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
154 words
A fan assembly for an integrated circuit comprising: a finned plate (3) including a plurality of rows and columns of fins (31) extending upwardly from an upper side thereof and a space (32) defined in a center of the upper side, each two said adjacent fins (31) having a gap (33) defined therebetween; a board member (1) securely mounted to the finned plate (3) and including a hole (11) defined in a mediate portion thereof; a fan device (2) mounted to the board member (1) and having a fan (22) rotatably received in the space (32) of the finned plate (3) the fan device (2) further including a plurality of spacers (23) extending downwardly from a bottom side thereof in contact with the upper side of the finned plate (3) defining the space (32); and a heat conducting member (4) securely connected to one of the finned plate (3) and an integrated circuit (5).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
