Patent number: 11472564Abstract: A seal arrangement includes a first outer skin and a second outer skin disposed about an axial centerline. The second outer skin is adjacent the first outer skin and includes at least one door. A bulkhead extends substantially radially at least a portion of a distance between the axial centerline and one of the first outer skin and the second outer skin. A first outer frame includes a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion. The first portion of the first outer frame is mounted to the bulkhead. A seal is mounted to one of the at least one door and the second portion. The at least one door is rotatable between a first position and a second position. In the second position the seal contacts the at least one door and the second portion. The third portion is configured to limit a compression of the seal.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2019Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: Rohr, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Kroeger, Stephen Lindsey, Kristopher B.
