Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a plate for use with a heatsink. The plate is adapted to engage with the heatsink and a fan subassembly, and comprises a first substantially planar section which is adapted to engage with the heatsink and a second substantially planar section which is adapted to engage with the fan subassembly.

Claims (20)

1. A plate adapted to engage with a heatsink and a fan subassembly, comprising a first substantially planar section which is adapted to engage with a heatsink and a second substantially planar section which is adapted to engage with a fan subassembly, the second substantially planar section having a raised portion adapted to engage with a device comprising said heatsink and said fan subassembly.

2. A plate according to claim 1 , further comprising a third substantially planar section which connects said first substantially planar section and said second substantially planar section.

3. A plate according to claim 2 , wherein said third substantially planar section is at an angle such that said first substantially planar section and said second substantially planar section are substantially parallel to each other.

4. A plate according to claim 1 , wherein said first substantially planar section comprises a plurality of protrusions adapted to engage with said heatsink.

5. A plate according to claim 1 , wherein said second substantially planar section has at least one protrusion adapted to engage with said fan subassembly.

6. A plate according to claim 1 , further comprising an attachment component for detachably coupling said plate to the device comprising said heatsink and said fan subassembly.

7. A plate according to claim 6 , wherein said attachment component is a plurality of projections that mate with a feature of said device.

8. A plate adapted to engage with a heatsink and a fan subassembly, comprising a first substantially planar section which is adapted to engage with a heatsink and a second substantially planar section which is adapted to engage with a fan subassembly, the first substantially planar section comprising a plurality of protrusions adapted to engage with said heatsink.

9. A plate according to claim 8 , further comprising an attachment component for detachably coupling said plate to a device comprising said heatsink and said fan subassembly.

10. A plate according to claim 9 , wherein said attachment component is a plurality of projections that mate with a feature of said device.

11. A plate according to claim 8 , further comprising a third substantially planar section which connects said first substantially planar section and said second substantially planar section.

12. A plate according to claim 11 , wherein said third substantially planar section is at an angle such that said first substantially planar section and said second substantially planar section are substantially parallel to each other.

13. A plate according to claim 8 , wherein said second substantially planar section has a raised portion adapted to engage with a device comprising said heatsink and said fan subassembly.

14. A plate according to claim 13 , further comprising a third substantially planar section which connects said first substantially planar section and said second substantially planar section, wherein said third substantially planar section is at an angle such that said first substantially planar section and said second substantially planar section are substantially parallel to each other.

15. A plate adapted to engage with a heatsink and a fan subassembly, comprising a first substantially planar section which is adapted to engage with a heatsink and a second substantially planar section which is adapted to engage with a fan subassembly, the second substantially planar section having at least one protrusion adapted to engage with said fan subassembly.

16. A plate according to claim 15 , further comprising a third substantially planar section which connects said first substantially planar section and said second substantially planar section.

17. A plate according to claim 16 , wherein said third substantially planar section is at an angle such that said first substantially planar section and said second substantially planar section are substantially parallel to each other.

18. A plate according to claim 17 , wherein said second substantially planar section has a raised portion adapted to engage with a device comprising said fan subassembly.

19. A plate according to claim 15 , further comprising an attachment component for detachably coupling said plate to a device comprising said fan subassembly.

20. A plate according to claim 19 , wherein said attachment component is a plurality of projections that mate with a feature of said device.
