Abstract: A robust fastener locking device (10, 20) prevents loosening of a fastener (F) used to attach to two parts (P1, P2) together. A plate (12, 22) fits against a part and abuts against at least two adjacent sides (S1, S2) of the part. The plate has an opening (14, 24) therein sized for a bolt to be inserted through the opening with the head of the bolt, or the nut (N) bearing against the plate when the fastener is secured in place. A portion of the plate adjacent the opening is deformable about the fastener after the fastener is secured in place to prevent subsequent rotation of the fastener which would loosen the fastener. In one embodiment, tabs (30a-30c) are formed adjacent the opening and can be bent about the portion of the fastener. The tab is broken off if the fastener needs to be removed, but the locking device can be reused.

Abstract: In a gas turbine (10), a plurality of combustors (14), each having a plurality of fuel nozzles (32) arranged about a longitudinal axis of the combustor, and a single combustion zone (70), each fuel nozzle having a diffusion passage (74) and a premix passage (60), the premix passage communicating with a plurality of premix fuel distribution tubes (66) located within a dedicated premix tube (46) adapted to mix the premix fuel and combustion air prior to entry into the single combustion zone (70) located downstream of the premix tube (46).
