Patent ID: 7246654

Claim:
A heat dissipating device comprising: multiple self-aligning, interconnecting fins, each self-aligning, interconnecting fin including: a first side edge; a second side edge; an inside surface; an outside surface; multiple upper alignment arms perpendicularly extending respectively from the first side edge and the second side edge and each alignment arm having: a proximal end formed on a corresponding side edge; a distal end; two inclined edges; and multiple lower alignment arms perpendicularly extending respectively from the first side edge and the second side edge, and each lower alignment arm having a proximal end formed on a corresponding side edge; a distal end; and two inclined edges; multiple upper outer connecting tabs formed upward on the distal ends of the upper alignment arms; multiple lower outer connecting tabs formed downward on the distal ends of the lower alignment arms; and multiple inner connecting tabs staggered from the upper outer connecting tabs and the lower outer connecting tabs.
