Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An exemplary turbomachine seal assembly includes a ring seal that has a radially-facing sealing surface, an axially-facing sealing surface, and a first tapered surface. The turbomachine seal assembly also includes a spacer that has a second tapered surface. The second tapered surface interfaces with the first tapered surface to bias the radially facing sealing surface and the axially facing sealing surface toward a sealing position.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
I claim: 1. A turbomachine seal assembly comprising: a ring seal that has a radially-facing sealing surface, an axially-facing sealing surface, and a first tapered surface; and a spacer that has a second tapered surface, wherein the second tapered surface interfaces with the first tapered surface to bias the radially-facing sealing surface and the axially-facing sealing surface toward a sealing position, wherein the spacer includes a plurality of slots extending from a radially…
