Clipped heat shield assembly

A gas turbine engine bleed air system comprising:

• a bleed port in a compressor inner casing surrounding a compressor flowpath of a high pressure compressor circumscribing a centerline;
• the bleed port including an annular bleed slot in the compressor inner casing;
• inner and outer slot walls radially inwardly and outwardly respectively bounding a bleed flow passage through the bleed slot;
• an annular lip on the inner slot wall;
• an annular array of arcuate shields radially inwardly bounding the bleed flow passage downstream and aft of the inner slot wall;
• each of the shields including an integrally-formed axially forward retaining portion, a downstream portion, and an upstream portion therebetween;
• the retaining portion being a free end having a radially inner annular edge;
• and
• a clipping means for clipping the forward retaining portion to an aft facing radial wall of the annular lip, wherein the clipping means includes an annular clip having an aft conical portion aft of and radially offset from a forward conical portion, a transition portion therebetween connecting the aft conical portion to the forward conical portion, and the forward conical portion disposed in an annular slot extending into the inner slot wall.
