Abstract:
1. A structure for attaching together or sealing a space between a first component and a second component that have different rates or amounts of dimensional change upon being exposed to temperatures other than ambient temperature, said structure comprising a plurality of support members fixedly disposed between said first component and said second component, each of said support member defining a cavity and accepting therein at least a first attachment structure that slidably engages a mating second attachment structure provided on said second component such that said second component is capable of floating in an independent movement relative to said first component in at least one of radial and axial direction, said structure further substantially preventing a communication between a medium present in a space between said first component and said second component from and another medium present in a space defined by said second component.
