Patent ID: 6978827

Claim:
A cooling device for dissipating heat from a heat source, comprising: a heat sink including a fin structure; an air moving device assembled with the heat sink for moving air through the fin structure; and a spring attachment mechanism for clamping the heat sink to the heat source, said spring attachment mechanism including two attachment brackets, each having one or more pivotally mounted attachment legs adapted for engagement with a retention mechanism fixed relative to said heat source, each attachment bracket having a levered cam for bearing on the heat sink, the levered cam moveable from a first position in which the levered cam does not press the heat sink against the heat source to a second position in which the levered cam presses the heat sink against the heat source; and said spring attachment mechanism also including a handle connecting the levered cams of the two attachment brackets so that movement of the handle engages both levered cams substantially simultaneously.
