Abstract
Abstract A CPU heat dissipating apparatus includes a heat sink attached to a CPU shell for dissipating of heat from it, an elongated clamping plate mounted in a longitudinal passage between two arrays of radiating fins on the heat sink and hooked on the CPU shell to secure the heat sink and the CPU shell together, and a lock bolt inserted into an oblong mounting hole on the elongated clamping plate and a corresponding oblong mounting hole on the heat sink and a corresponding oblong mounting hole on the CPU shell and then turned through 90 degrees to lock the elongated clamping plate and the heat sink and the CPU shell together.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
298 words
A CPU heat dissipating apparatus comprising a heat sink attached to a CPU shell for dissipating of heat from said CPU shell, an elongated clamping plate fastened to said heat sink and said CPU shell to secure them together, and a lock bolt fastened to said elongated clamping plate and said heat sink and said CPU shell to lock them together, wherein: said heat sink comprises a plurality of longitudinally and transversely aligned radiating fins arranged into two separated arrays, a longitudinal passage defined between said two separated arrays of radiating fins, a first oblong mounting hole and a second oblong mounting hole disposed in said longitudinal passage and respectively connected to a respective oblong mounting hole on said CPU shell; said elongated clamping plate comprises an oblong mounting hole at one end connected to the first oblong mounting hole of said heat sink and the corresponding oblong mounting hole of said CPU shell by said lock bolt, a downward hook at an opposite end hooked in the second oblong mounting hole of said heat sink and the corresponding oblong mounting hole of said CPU shell, and two upright springy frames bilaterally disposed in the middle and respectively stopped at said two arrays of radiating fins at an inner side; said lock bolt comprises a flat finger plate raised from a top side thereof for the holding of the hand, and a T-rod invertedly raised from a bottom side thereof, said T-rod of said lock bolt being inserted through the oblong mounting hole of said elongated clamping plate and the first oblong mounting hole of said heat sink and the corresponding oblong mounting hole of said CPU shell and turned through 90 degrees to lock said elongated clamping plate and said heat sink and said CPU shell together.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

A CPU heat dissipating apparatus comprising a heat sink attached to a CPU shell for dissipating of heat from said CPU shell, an elongated clamping plate fastened to said heat sink and said CPU shell to secure them together, and a lock bolt fastened to said elongated clamping plate and said heat sink and said CPU shell to lock them together, wherein: said heat sink comprises a plurality of longitudinally and transversely aligned radiating fins arranged into two separated arrays, a longitudinal passage defined between said two separated arrays of radiating fins, a first oblong mounting hole and a second oblong mounting hole disposed in said longitudinal passage and respectively connected to a respective oblong mounting hole on said CPU shell; said elongated clamping plate comprises an oblong mounting hole at one end connected to the first oblong mounting hole of said heat sink and the corresponding oblong mounting hole of said CPU shell by said lock bolt, a downward hook at an opposite end hooked in the second oblong mounting hole of said heat sink and the corresponding oblong mounting hole of said CPU shell, and two upright springy frames bilaterally disposed in the middle and respectively stopped at said two arrays of radiating fins at an inner side; said lock bolt comprises a flat finger plate raised from a top side thereof for the holding of the hand, and a T-rod invertedly raised from a bottom side thereof, said T-rod of said lock bolt being inserted through the oblong mounting hole of said elongated clamping plate and the first oblong mounting hole of said heat sink and the corresponding oblong mounting hole of said CPU shell and turned through 90 degrees to lock said elongated clamping plate and said heat sink and said CPU shell together.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
59 words
The CPU heat dissipating apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said elongated clamping plate comprises two retainer strips respectively and horizontally extended from a respective one of said two upright spring frames in reversed directions and inserted into a respective transverse gap in said two arrays of radiating fins to stop said elongated clamping plate from longitudinal displacement.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
62 words
The CPU heat dissipating apparatus as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a wing guide fitting over said heat sink, said wing guide comprising a plurality of inward hooks bilaterally disposed at two opposite ends and respectively hooked on respective hooked portions on fin ribs of said radiating fins of said heat sink, and a center air hole which receives a fan.
