<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a heat pipe which enables efficient transfer of heat from a local heat source and of which the shape of a container is not changed in the direction of thickness at the time of nonoperation. SOLUTION: In this heat pipe wherein a condensable fluid in a vacuum- deaerated state is sealed as a working fluid 13 inside a container, the container is formed in a hollow and flat shape by a flat heating part 12a, a radiating part 12b being so separated from the heating part 12a as to be opposite thereto and having a larger area than the heating part 12a and a side wall part 12c connecting the respective peripheral edge parts of these heating part 12a and radiating part 12b with each other through the whole circumference. Besides, a support 71 constituted of a rigid body is disposed between the inner surface of the heating part 12a and that of the radiating part 12b.</p> |
