Abstract
A heat sink apparatus that utilizes a pivot couple and support with anchor-spring mounts to enable exertion of a uniform amount of force over the mounting surface of the apparatus that is thermally/physically coupled to a heat load. The apparatus can include a heat sink base that has a bottom side defining the mounting surface, and a top side to which a support is pivotally coupled by a pivot couple. The apparatus can include a first and second anchor that each have a first end connected to an anchor point and a second end coupled to a load surface on the support by a spring. The load surfaces can be symmetrically disposed on opposite sides of the pivot couple, which is centrally located relative to the mounting surface so that the force imparted by spring loads of the springs is evenly distributed over the mounting surface.
