Patent ID: 7445425

Claim:
A seal assembly between components in a gas turbine engine, which assembly permits limited relative movement between the components, the assembly including cooperable formations on each component which together define a slot extending between and into each of the components, with respective spaces between the components on either side of the slot, a baffle member extending into the slot from one of the components such that the fluid flow path between the components extends through one of said spaces, into the slot, around the free end of the baffle member, and out through the other of said spaces, such that the fluid flow path is longer than the distance through said one space, around the free end of the baffle member, and out through a further space opposite said one space, each of said one space and the further space opposite said one space having a central longitudinal axis, the central longitudinal axis of each of said spaces being substantially parallel, and laterally offset, relative to the other.
