  • Patent number: 7631501
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a sealing body for sealing an outer component with respect to an inner component, in particular for a combustion chamber of a gas turbine. The outer component has a passage opening, through which the inner component projects out of the outer component. In the installed state, the sealing body is arranged in the region of the passage opening, surrounds the inner component in a circumferentially continuous manner, bears in a circumferentially continuous manner, by means of an inner sealing zone, against an outer sealing surface of the inner component and bears in a circumferentially continuous manner, by means of an outer sealing zone, against an inner sealing surface of the outer component. The sealing body is produced by deformation from at least one metal sheet that is in strip form and is circumferentially continuous. The inner sealing zone and the outer sealing zone are formed at a profiled section of the sealing body along the entire circumference.

  • Publication number: 20050235647
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a sealing body (1) for sealing an outer component (2) with respect to an inner component (3), in particular for a combustion chamber of a gas turbine. The outer component (2) has a passage opening (4), through which the inner component (3) projects out of the outer component (2). In the installed state, the sealing body (1) is arranged in the region of the passage opening (4), surrounds the inner component (3) in a circumferentially continuous manner, bears in a circumferentially continuous manner, by means of an inner sealing zone (7), against an outer sealing surface (6) of the inner component (3) and bears in a circumferentially continuous manner, by means of an outer sealing zone (8), against an inner sealing surface (5) of the outer component (2). The sealing body (1) is produced by deformation from at least one metal sheet that is in strip form and is circumferentially continuous.
