Abstract
A clip ( ) comprises a pressing body ( ) adapted to press onto a heat sink ( ). First and second arms ( ) extend outwardly and upwardly from opposite ends of the pressing body. A pair of flanges ( ) extends perpendicularly outwardly from opposite edges of the second arm. A horseshoe-shaped locking slot ( ) is defined in each flange. An operation portion ( ) extends upwardly and then downwardly from an end of the second arm. The operation portion has an engaging hole ( ) for engagingly receiving a socket ( ). A pair of locking bars ( ) extends from opposite edges of the operation portion, and is slidably accommodated in the locking slots. Pushing the operation portion causes the locking bars to slide along the locking slots until they snap into place, whereby the clip is securely attached to the socket and firmly presses the heat sink against an electronic device ( ).
