Abstract:
An assembly includes a monolithic carrier structure and a seal assembly. The monolithic carrier structure includes a carrier base and a support ring. The carrier base extends axially along the centerline. The support ring projects radially inward from the carrier base. The seal assembly is nested radially within the carrier base and axially next to the support ring. The seal assembly includes a seal base, a plurality of spring elements and a plurality of seal shoes arranged about the centerline in an annular array. The seal base circumscribes the annular array of the seal shoes. Each of the spring elements is radially between and connects a respective one of the seal shoes with the seal base.

Claim (Index 12):
An assembly for a gas turbine engine with an axial centerline, the assembly comprising:\n a turbine engine static structure; a turbine engine rotor structure; a carrier structure including a carrier base and a support ring, the carrier base mounted to and radially within the static structure; a seal assembly nested radially within the carrier base and axially next to the support ring, the seal assembly configured to substantially seal an annular gap between the static structure and the rotor structure, and the seal assembly including a seal base, a plurality of spring elements and a plurality of seal shoes arranged about the centerline in an annular array; wherein the seal shoes circumscribe and sealingly engage the rotor structure, wherein the seal base circumscribes the annular array of the seal shoes and radially contacts the carrier base, and wherein a first of the spring elements is radially between and connects a first of the seal shoes and the seal base; a secondary seal carrier ring nested radially within the carrier base; and at least one secondary seal device mated with and radially within the secondary seal carrier ring; wherein the secondary seal device is configured to substantially seal an annular gap between the secondary seal carrier ring and the annular array of the seal shoes; and wherein the secondary seal carrier ring axially contacts the seal base and the support ring, and the secondary seal carrier ring is located axially between the seal base and the support ring.
