a flexible body having a base and sidewalls, said body capable of being manipulated between rest and everted configurations, said base having a center pedestal and a perimeter portion surrounding said pedestal,
said perimeter portion having a support collar surrounding said pedestal, a hinge section pivotally interconnecting said pedestal and said support collar, and a locking flange extending inwardly from said support collar and spaced above said hinge section, said support collar, said hinge section and said locking flange defining an inwardly-facing recess adjacent said support collar,the sidewalls of said body extending upwardly from said support collar, a removable heat sink having a flat central portion, a skirt wall, and a horizontal retaining lip, said skirt wall depending downwardly from and surrounding said central portion, said skirt wall having a lower end disposed below said central portion, said retaining lip extending outwardly from the lower end of said skirt wall, wherein, when said body is in said rest configuration, the central portion of said heat sink is seated on said pedestal and the lip of said heat sink is captured in the recess formed in said base such that said heat sink is locked in position on said pedestal, and when said body is manipulated into said everted configuration, said support collar is rotated downwardly and said locking flange is rotated away from said pedestal such that said recess is radially expanded sufficiently to enable the retaining lip of said heat sink to be released therefrom for removal of said heat sink from said base. |
