Patent ID: 8736775

Claim:
A cooling device for an electronic apparatus including a plurality of members juxtaposed such that surfaces thereof confront each other, at least one of the members including a panel comprising a planar heat radiating surface, said cooling device comprising: a first air-cooling member which includes a first outlet port that is formed adjacent to a first end of the panel and substantially perpendicular to the panel, such that the first outlet port creates a first air stream to flow along said planar heat radiating surface at the first end of the panel; and a second air-cooling member which includes a second outlet port that is formed adjacent to a second end of the panel and substantially perpendicular to the panel, such that the second outlet port creates a second air stream to flow along said planar heat radiating surface in a direction different from the first air stream at the second end of the panel; wherein said first outlet port and said second outlet port have different opening widths in a sectional plane parallel to said planar heat radiating surface, and the first outlet port and the second outlet port are provided on a plane that includes the sectional plane, wherein the first air stream impinges upon the second air stream on the planar heat radiating surface between the first and second ends of the panel, and wherein the first air stream impinges upon the second air stream at a central portion of the panel.
