Patent

CA 2565744

A method for assembling a gas turbine engine (10) is provided. The method comprises coupling a first turbine nozzle (50) within the engine, coupling a second turbine nozzle circumferentially adjacent the first turbine nozzle such that a gap is defined between the first and second turbine nozzles and providing at least one spline seal (100) including a substantially planar body. The method also comprises forming at least one retainer tab (122) to extend outward from the body portion of the at least one spline seal, and inserting the at least one spline seal into a slot (222) defined in at least one of the first and second turbine nozzles to facilitate reducing leakage through said gap, such that the at least one retainer tab facilitates retaining the retainer tab within the turbine nozzle slot.
