US Patent 10317067 Heat radiating apparatus and light illuminating apparatus with the same

Provided is a heat radiating apparatus for radiating heat of a heat source in air. The heat radiating apparatus includes a support member in close contact with the heat source on a first principal surface side, a heat pipe supported by the support member, and a plurality of heat radiating fins in a space that faces a second principal surface to radiate the heat transferred by the heat pipe. The heat pipe has a first line part thermally joined with the support member, a second line part thermally joined with the heat radiating fins, and a connecting part. A plurality of heat radiating apparatuses can be connected such that the first principal surfaces are successive, and each of the plurality of heat radiating apparatuses has a receiving part for receiving the connecting parts of adjacent heat radiating apparatuses in the space that faces the second principal surface.
