A screwless mini fan holder is disclosed. The mount bracket of the fan
holder is composed of two clips and four resilient pins projecting from
opposite sides of a backplane. The clips are used to couple the fan
holder onto the heat sink of a computer. The resilient pins each having a
semi-circular ball head are used to attach the mini fan, where one end of
each pin is permanently connected to the back side of the backplane, and
the other end extends outward at an inclined angle. Such screwless design
enables the fan holder without using any mechanical tools. This not only
simplifies the assembly of the mini fan in a computer for most computer
users, but also allows air flow to be uniformly distributed over the heat
sink for maximized heat dissipation.
