Abstract

The invention provides a cooling device with a heat pipe, which is capable of effectively radiating heat from electronic equipment such as a small-sized computer. The cooling device with the heat pipe comprises a plate-like container made of heat transferring metal for containing a working fluid, and having a heat absorbing surface larger than that of the body to be cooled, a heat transferring metal column, and a hollow portion in which the working fluid exists. An alternating embodiment of the cooling device with the heat pipe comprises a plate-like container made of heat transferring metal, a heat absorbing wall having a large heat absorbing surface, and a plurality of protrusion portions.
