Heat pipe and process for manufacturing the same
First Claim
1. A heat pipe for a working fluid to transfer heat in the form of latent heat of evaporation, comprising a flattened hollow container formed generally into a hollow frustum of a quadrangular pyramid and confining said working fluid, wherein said container includes:
- a flat heating portion;
a flat radiating portion opposed at a distance to said heating portion and having a larger area than that of said heating portion; and
side wall portions joining said heating portion and said radiating portion to each other, said side wall portions being tapered along substantially the entire height thereof.

Abstract
A heat pipe for transferring heat as the latent heat of evaporation to a radiating portion at a lower temperature by heating a heating portion of a container to evaporate a working fluid and by conveying the produced vapor to the radiating portion thereby to condense the vapor. The container is formed into a flattened hollow shape by: a flat heating portion; a radiating portion opposed at a distance to the heating portion and having a larger area than that of the heating portion; and side wall portions jointing the heating portion and the radiating portion to each other along the entire peripheral edge portions of the same.
