Heatsink and heatpipes

Abstract

The invention provides a heat-pipe for a rotational molding apparatus.

1 . A heat-pipe for a rotational molding apparatus, the heat-pipe being a hollow cylinder having a first end and a second end, the second end having a thermal energy absorbing/dissipating means located thereon. 
     
     
         2 . The heat-pipe of  claim 1 , wherein the thermal energy absorbing/dissipating means includes a plurality of fins. 
     
     
         3 . The heat-pipe of  claim 2 , wherein the thermal energy absorbing/dissipating means is removable from the heat-pipe. 
     
     
         4 . The heat-pipe of  claim 2 , wherein the thermal energy absorbing/dissipating means is a plurality of radially extending cooling fins. 
     
     
         5 . The heat-pipe of  claim 4 , wherein, the plurality of radially extending thermal energy absorbing/dissipating fins surrounds a central core body, the central core body shaped to nestingly receive the second end of the heat-pipe. 
     
     
         6 . The heat-pipe of  claim 1 , wherein the thermal energy absorbing/dissipating means is integral with the heat-pipe. 
     
     
         7 . The heat-pipe of  claim 1 , wherein the heat pipe includes having a fluid sealed within, the fluid being capable of absorbing heat. 
     
     
         8 . The heat-pipe of  claim 1 , wherein the hollow cylinder is substantially cone shaped.
