Abstract:

The invention comprises a boltless turbine nozzle and nozzle support assembly that includes a turbine nozzle mounting flange seated in a nozzle seat forming a part of the nozzle support. Pins are used for affixing the nozzle support seat and baffles are providing for maintaining the pins in their desired locations. A retaining ring is preferably used to retain the baffles adjacent to the pins. A pressure actuated pliable seal is affixed to the turbine nozzle adjacent to the nozzle seat in order to provide an air seal across the completed assembly. Patents. MJM
