  • Gap secondary seal support template
    Patent number: 10948085
    Abstract: A secondary seal support template gauge, for determining whether a secondary seal support 50 is distorted, includes a plate, rectangular downward projections, and a rectangular finger. The plate has a first end and a second end, and has apertures that correspond to protruding screws of the secondary seal support. There are preferably two pairs of rectangular downward projections attached to the plate. The two pairs of rectangular downward projections are juxtapositioned such that, in operation, each pair of rectangular downward projections grip the secondary seal support and center the template gauge on the secondary seal support and each protruding screw enters an aperture when the secondary seal support is undistorted. The rectangular finger disposed on the second end of the plate such that, in operation, the finger can enter the support slot when the secondary seal support is undistorted.
