Patent number: 9617872Abstract: A hanger system for connecting components in a gas turbine engine has a first spaced component, a second spaced component arranged a desired distance from the first spaced component, and a plurality of spacers arranged between the first spaced component and the second spaced component. A T-bar having a shaft portion and a crossbar is arranged between the components. The shaft portion of the T-bar passes through an aperture in the first spaced component and the crossbar portion of the T-bar is arranged adjacent to the second spaced component. A bracket is coupled to the second spaced component and substantially encapsulates the crossbar portion of the T-bar.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2014Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignee: United Technologies CorporationInventor: Thomas M.

Patent number: 8967570Abstract: A mount assembly includes a main body, a bayonet, and a block. The bayonet is movable relative the main body to insert a portion of the bayonet into an internal cavity of the main body. The block is disposed within the internal cavity and is movable relative to the main body from a first position to a second position. In the first position, the bayonet is captured and held between the block and an inner wall of the internal cavity. In the second position, the block allows the bayonet to be removed from the internal cavity.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2011Date of Patent: March 3, 2015Assignee: United Technologies CorporationInventors: Russell P.

Publication number: 20130341426Abstract: A sealed joint may include a first plate with a seal land, a second plate that moves relative to the seal land, and a leaf spring seal. The leaf spring seal includes a stack of seal leaf elements that extend laterally from a first stack end, which is connected to the second plate, towards a distal second stack end. The stack may include a seal land contact segment and a base segment. The seal land contact segment is engaged with the seal land, and spatially separated from the second plate. The base segment is configured laterally between the seal land contact segment and the first stack end, and spatially separated from the first plate. A first of the seal leaf elements has a first longitudinal length, and a second of the seal leaf elements has a second longitudinal length that is different than the first longitudinal length.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2012Publication date: December 26, 2013Applicant: UNITED TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATIONInventors: Thomas M.
