13DV-9733 IMPROVED ARRANGEMENT FOR SEALING GAPS BETWEEN ADJACENT CIRCUMFERENTIAL SEGMENTS OF TURBINE NOZZLES AND SHROUDS ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An arrangement for sealing a gap defined between spaced edges on a pair of adjacent segments includes a pair of oppositely inclined flanges on the segment edges having respective oppositely inclined planar surfaces defined thereon, an elongated cylindrical seal rod disposed between and seated on the spaced inclined planar surfaces of the edge flanges so as to span and close the gap between the edge flanges, and a yieldable resilient spring clip having a channel-like cross-sectional configuration. The spring clip is anchored under the edge flanges and overlies the seal rod so as to bias the seal rod into sealing contact with the planar surfaces of the edge flanges and a sealing relationship with the gap. Opposite edge portions of the spring clip have hook-like configurations one being the reverse of the other for extending around and under the edge flanges, whereas a middle portion of the spring clip is engaged with the seal rod and configured in its shape to conform to the shape of a side of the seal rod engaged by the clip middle portion.
