Abstract

According to one embodiment, a television apparatus includes: a substrate, a heat transport mechanism, and a pressing member. The heat transport mechanism includes a heat receiving portion, a heat releasing portion, and a heat transferring portion. The heat receiving portion receives heat from an exothermic component of the substrate. The heat releasing portion releases heat. The heat transferring portion houses a medium for carrying heat from the heat receiving portion to the heat releasing portion. The pressing member includes a plurality of portions-to-be-fixed, a pressing portion, a plurality of arm portions, and an engaging portion. The plurality of portions-to-be-fixed are fixed to the substrate. The pressing portion presses the heat receiving portion or presses a heat releasing block thermally-linked to the heat receiving portion against the exothermic body. The plurality of arm portions are disposed in between the portions-to-be-fixed and the pressing portion. The engaging portion engages with the substrate.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A television apparatus comprising:
 a substrate housed in a housing and having an exothermic component mounted thereon;   a heat transport mechanism at least partially housed inside the housing, and comprising a heat receiving portion configured to receive heat from the exothermic component, a heat releasing portion configured to release heat, and a heat transferring portion configured to house a medium for carrying heat from the heat receiving portion to the heat releasing portion; and   a pressing member comprising a plurality of portions-to-be-fixed fixed to the substrate, a pressing portion configured to press the heat receiving portion or press a heat releasing block thermally-linked to the heat receiving portion against the exothermic body, a plurality of arm portions disposed in between the portions-to-be-fixed and the pressing portion, and an engaging portion configured to engage with the substrate.   
     
     
         2 . The television apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the engaging portion comprises a first engaging portion configured to engage the pressing portion against the substrate with respect to a direction along a surface of the substrate. 
     
     
         3 . The television apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the first engaging portion is configured to restrict the pressing member from rotating along the surface of the substrate. 
     
     
         4 . The television apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the engaging portion comprises a second engaging portion configured to restrict the pressing member from moving away from a face of the substrate on which the exothermic component is mounted. 
     
     
         5 . The television apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of the engaging portion, each having a different engaging direction. 
     
     
         6 . The television apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the engaging portion is configured to engage at a rim portion of the substrate. 
     
     
         7 . The television apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein the engaging portion is configured to engage at a corner of the substrate. 
     
     
         8 . The television apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the engaging portion is disposed in at least one of the portions-to-be-fixed. 
     
     
         9 . A television apparatus comprising:
 a substrate housed in a housing and having a component mounted or installed thereon;   a pressing member fixed on the substrate and configured to press the component against the substrate; and   an engaging portion formed in the pressing member and configured to engage with an edge of the substrate.   
     
     
         10 . An electronic device comprising:
 a substrate housed in a housing and having an exothermic component mounted thereon;   a heat transport mechanism at least partially housed inside the housing, and comprising a heat receiving portion configured to receive heat from the exothermic component, a heat releasing portion configured to release heat, and a heat transferring portion configured to house a medium for carrying heat from the heat receiving portion to the heat releasing portion; and   a pressing member comprising a plurality of portions-to-be-fixed fixed to the substrate, a pressing portion configured to press the heat receiving portion or press a heat releasing block thermally-linked to the heat receiving portion against the exothermic body, a plurality of arm portions disposed in between the portions-to-be-fixed and the pressing portion, and an engaging portion configured to engage the pressing member with the substrate.
