Patent ID: 8182156

Claim:
A bearing cage assembly for a gas turbine engine, comprising: (a) a first bearing cage comprising: (i) an annular first bearing support ring; (ii) an annular first mounting flange; and (iii) an annular array of axially-extending first spring arms interconnecting the first bearing support ring and the first mounting flange, the first spring arms defining an outer diameter; (b) a second bearing cage comprising: (i) an annular second bearing support ring; (ii) an annular second mounting ring, the second mounting ring defining an inner diameter greater that the outer diameter; and (iii) an annular array of axially-extending second spring arms interconnecting the second bearing support ring and the second mounting ring, the second spring arms defining spaces therebetween; (c) wherein the first bearing cage is received within the second bearing cage with the first spring arms disposed within the spaces of the second bearing cage, and the first bearing support ring disposed inside the second spring arms and radially spaced-away from the second spring arms, so as to permit independent flexing motion of the first and second spring arms.
