Each of the multiple first shank members includes a first head knob, a first extension, a locking rib, a shoulder, a slot, and an orifice, wherein an outer diameter of the first extension is less than the first head knob, and the locking rib is in a conical cylinder shape. Each of the multiple resilient elements is fitted on the first extension. Each of the multiple shank members includes a second head knob and a second extension extending downward from a bottom of the second head knob, wherein an outer diameter of the second extension is less than an inner diameter of the orifice so that the second extension is located on a lower end of the orifice after inserting into a top of the orifice.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0013] With reference to FIGS. 3 and 4, a positioning assembly 40 for a computer radiator according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises:

[0014] multiple first shank members 41, each of the multiple first shank members 41 made of metal material and including a first head knob 411, a first extension 412 extending downward from a bottom of the first head knob 411, a locking rib 413 extending outward from a lower end of the first extension 412, a shoulder 414 defined between the locking rib 413 and the first extension 412, a slot 415 extending to the first extension 412 from a bottom of the locking rib 413, and an orifice 416 extending to a bottom of the slot 415 from a top of the first head knob 411, wherein an outer diameter of the first extension 412 is less than the first head knob 411, and the locking rib 413 is in a conical cylinder shape;

[0015] multiple resilient elements 42, each of the multiple resilient elements 42 fitted on the first extension 412;

[0016] multiple second shank members 43, each of the multiple shank members 43 made of plastic, and each second shank member 43 including a second head knob 431 and a second extension 432 extending downward from a bottom of the second head knob 431, wherein an outer diameter of the second extension 432 is less than an inner diameter of the orifice 416.

[0017] Referring to FIGS. 5-9, a circuit board 50 includes a chip 51 arranged thereon and includes multiple fixing apertures 52 defined on the circuit board 50. The computer radiator 60 includes multiple through holes 61 corresponding to the multiple fixing apertures 52 respectively. As shown in FIG. 6, when the locking rib 413 contacts with each of the multiple through holes 61, the lower end of the first extension 412 shrinks so that the first extension 412 passes through each through hole 61. Then, as illustrated in FIG. 7, the lower end of the first extension 412 passes through each of the multiple fixing apertures 52. With reference to FIG. 8, after the locking rib 413 passes through each fixing aperture 52 completely, the locking rib 413 is not limited, and the first extension 412 recovers its shape and is fixed by the shoulder 414. Referring to FIG. 9, the second extension 432 is located on a lower end of the orifice 416 after inserting into a top of the orifice 416, and the first extension 412 does not shrink so as to avoid a removal of the locking rib 413 from the shoulder 414 and to fix the first shank member 41 securely.

[0018] As desiring to detach the computer radiator 60, the second head knob 431 is pressed by user so as to pull each shank member 43 upwardly and to remove the first shank member 41.

[0019] In another embodiment, the first shank member 41 is made of copper.

[0020] In some embodiments, the shank member 43 is made of nylon or polycarbonates (PC).

[0021] In some embodiments, the resilient element 42 is a compression spring.

[0022] While the preferred embodiments of the invention have been set forth for the purpose of disclosure, modifications of the disclosed embodiments of the invention and other embodiments thereof may occur to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, the appended claims are intended to cover all embodiments which do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention.
