Abstract
A cooling system for an electric device such as a personal computer is disclosed. The cooling system includes a receiving assembly and a removable fan assembly. The receiving assembly has a first component of a bayonet lock and first electrical contact, while the fan assembly has a fan blade, a motor for the fan blade, a second component of the bayonet lock, and a second electrical contact. The first and second electrical contacts are situated with radial respect to each other such that turning the fan assembly to engage the bayonet lock forces an electrical connection between the first and second electrical contacts.
