Patent ID: 7796393

Claim:
An assembly device for applying a cooling element onto a module, wherein the cooling element comprises a first side part and a second side part opposite the first side part, wherein the first and second side parts are connected by a region, the assembly device comprising: a spreader, which is adapted to spread apart the first and second side parts by mechanical pressure action, so as to be able to guide a predetermined region of the module between the first and second side parts, wherein the spreader is arranged along a long side of the assembly device at a top of a short side of the assembly device, wherein the spreader comprises two wedges slidable against each other, which are arranged in a first position such that the region of the cooling element can be guided over the two wedges, and which can be brought into a second position by shifting from the first position, so that the wedges in the second position cause a pressure action on the first and second side parts of the cooling element, wherein a first one of the two wedges slidable against each other is fixed by a retaining bolt with respect to the assembly device, and the second wedge is slidable with respect to the first wedge by rotation of a threaded rod in a mating thread arranged on the second wedge; a first guiding region for the cooling element comprising a first guiding direction, the first guiding region adapted to slide the cooling element onto the spreader; and a second guiding region for the module comprising a second guiding direction, the second guiding direction adapted to move the module along the second direction, wherein the second guiding direction is substantially perpendicular to the first guiding direction.
