Abstract:
Heat-removal assemblies with springs on opposing sides of a support structure and methods for using the same are provided. Heat may be removed from a heat-generating assembly of an electronic device by a heat-removal assembly that may include a heat-dissipating subassembly (e.g., a heat spreader and/or a heat pipe) and a fastener subassembly. The fastener subassembly may be configured to press the heat-dissipating subassembly against the heat-generating assembly for enabling the heat-dissipating subassembly to be thermally coupled to the heat-generating assembly for removing heat therefrom. In order for the fastener subassembly to provide an even pressure distribution across the heat-dissipating subassembly for such heat removal and/or to limit deformation of one or more portions of the electronic device during such heat removal, the fastener subassembly may include two springs positioned on opposite sides of a circuit board that may be supporting the heat-generating assembly.

Claim (Index 1):
An electronic device comprising:\n a circuit board comprising a top circuit board surface and a bottom circuit board surface; a heat-generating assembly positioned on the top circuit board surface; and a heat-removal assembly comprising:\n a heat-dissipating subassembly; and \n a fastener subassembly comprising:\n a top spring comprising a top anchor portion and a top contact portion positioned above the top circuit board surface; \n a bottom spring comprising a bottom anchor portion and a bottom contact portion positioned below the bottom circuit board surface; and \n a coupling mechanism that couples the top anchor portion to the bottom anchor portion via a circuit board passageway extending through the circuit board between the top circuit board surface and the bottom circuit board surface, wherein:\n the top contact portion exerts a top contact force for forcing a portion of the heat-dissipating subassembly towards a portion of the heat-removal assembly; and \n the bottom contact portion exerts a bottom contact force for forcing a portion of the circuit board towards the heat-dissipating subassembly.
