Claim Text:
1. A turbine stator blade carrier, comprising: a first plurality of segments; a second plurality of segments; and wherein the turbine stator blade carrier is configured to carry a row of stator blades of a gas turbine where the stator blades are disposed radially inward of the turbine stator blade carrier with respect to the turbine axis, wherein one segment of the first plurality of segments extends over an entire radial extent of the turbine stator blade carrier such that a direct reaching of the radially further inwardly disposed stator blades and their exchange is possible after removal of the one segment and a connection of the respective segment to an adjacent segment is releasable, and wherein the at least two interconnected sections comprise a first section and a second section, wherein the first section and the second section include the first plurality of segments and the second plurality of segments, respectively, wherein the first plurality of segments and the second plurality of segments include a different number of segments, wherein the at least two interconnected sections include an inflow-side section and a remaining section, and wherein the inflow-side section includes a greater number of segments than the remaining section, wherein the remaining section includes, on a side facing the inflow-side section, a radially outwardly protruding projection that is encompassed by the first plurality of segments of the inflow-side section in a radial direction.
