Abstract:
A rotor blade ( 16 ) for a turbine of a gas turbine that includes an airfoil ( 25 ). The airfoil may have a leading edge, a trailing edge, an outboard tip, and an inboard end where the airfoil attaches to a root configured to couple the turbine blade to a rotor disc. The airfoil ( 25 ) may include a tip shroud ( 55 ) at an outboard tip. The rotor blade may have a cooling configuration that includes: elongated cooling channels ( 33 ) for receiving and directing a coolant through the airfoil ( 25 ); and branching passages ( 75 ) formed through the tip shroud ( 55 ), each of which elongates between a connection with one of the cooling channels ( 33 ) and an outlet port ( 37 ) formed on a surface of the tip shroud ( 55 ). The branching passages ( 75 ) may have a canted orientation relative the outboard surface of the tip shroud ( 55 ).

Claim (Index 16):
The turbine rotor blade according to  claim 15 , wherein the leading portion of the outboard surface comprises multiple ones of the outlet ports formed thereon; and\n wherein each of the outlet ports on the leading portion rotationally lead the connection the respective branching passage makes with the cooling channel.
