US Patent 11985797 Cooling device for dissipating heat from an object

A cooling device for dissipating heat from an object. The cooling device comprises a base part arranged for contact with the object, and fins attached to and protruding from the base part in a direction substantially away from the object when in use. The fins are arranged in a first configuration adapted for heat dissipation by natural convection of air and in a second configuration adapted for heat dissipation by forced convection of ambient air movement such as wind. Thereby, the cooling device can provide ample or at least adequate cooling effect on the object both when there is more or less ambient air movement chiefly using the second configuration, and when the ambient air is not moving chiefly using the first configuration.
