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 1):
An assembly for rotational equipment with an axial centerline, the assembly comprising:\n a carrier structure including a carrier base and a support ring, the carrier base extending axially along the centerline, and the support ring projecting radially inward from the carrier base; a seal assembly nested radially within the carrier base and axially next to the support ring, the seal assembly comprising 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 circumscribing the annular array of the seal shoes, and a first of the spring elements radially between and connecting 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 configured with the secondary seal carrier ring; the secondary seal device configured to substantially seal an annular gap between the secondary seal carrier ring and the annular array of the seal shoes; and the secondary seal carrier ring engaged axially with the seal base and the support ring, and the secondary seal carrier ring axially between the seal base and the support ring.
