Claim Text:
1. A heat transferring wedgelock clamp, the heat transferring clamp comprising: at least one base part with a heat transferring connection to a heat source when the heat transferring wedgelock clamp is in a clamped position; at least one wedged shaped clamping part moveable from a relaxed position, in which the at least one wedged shaped clamping part is provided proximate the at least one base part, to the clamped position, in which the at least one wedged shaped clamping part is separated from the at least one base part, the at least one wedged shaped clamping part with a heat transferring connection to a heat sink when the clamp is in the clamped position, the at least one wedged shaped clamping part applies a force to lock the heat transferring wedgelock clamp in the clamped position between the heat source and the heat sink; and at least one heat pipe with a first section attached to the at least one base part and a second section attached to the at least one wedge shaped clamping part and including a third flexible spring section that is flexible and permits the at least one wedge shaped clamping part to move relative to the at least one base part between the relaxed position and the clamped position, the third flexible spring section is flexed without exceeding stress and fatigue requirements as the heat transferring wedgelock clamp is moved to the clamped position.
