A heat transfer apparatus providing thermal coupling between a first and a second hinged member. The first hinged member is a first computer housing member, and the second hinged member is a second computer housing member. The first and the second computer housing members are rotatably attached allowing pivotal motion along an axis substantially parallel to the first edge. A first embodiment has a spiraled heat transfer element with a inner edge thermally coupled to a heat conductive mounting element mounted along the first edge of the first computer housing member. The spiraled heat transfer element forms at least one turn around the heat conductive mounting element and has outer edge affixed to the second computer housing member. A second embodiment provides heat transfer between the first and second computer housing members through the gudgeon and the pintle of the hinge.
