Abstract
A tile for attaching to a wall of a gas turbine engine. The tile has a main body. The tile also has a bridging structure that projects outwardly from the main body and has a hole configured to receive an elongate fastener so that the tile can be attached to the wall of the gas turbine engine by passing the elongate fastener through a hole in the wall of the gas turbine engine and the hole in the bridging structure.
Claims17
A component for attaching to a wall, wherein the component has:
- a main body;
- and
- a bridging structure that projects outwardly from the main body and has a hole configured to receive an elongate fastener so that the component can be attached to the wall by passing the elongate fastener through a hole in the wall and the hole in the bridging structure;
- wherein the component is provided with a nut having a threaded hole configured to engage with a threaded surface on an elongate fastener, the nut being joined to the component via a breakable link;
- and
- wherein the nut and the breakable link are integrally formed with the component.
A tile for attaching to a wall of a gas turbine engine, wherein the tile has:
- a main body;
- and
- a bridging structure that projects outwardly from the main body and has a hole configured to receive an elongate fastener so that the tile can be attached to the wall of the gas turbine engine by passing the elongate fastener through a hole in the wall of the gas turbine engine and the hole in the bridging structure;
- wherein the tile is provided with a nut having a threaded hole configured to engage with a threaded surface on an elongate fastener, the nut having a part spherical surface for contacting the bridging structure, the nut being joined to the component via a breakable link;
- and
- wherein the nut and the breakable link are integrally formed with the tile.
A gas turbine engine including:
- a wall having a hole;
- and
- a tile attached to the wall of the gas turbine engine, wherein the tile has:
- a main body;
- and
- a bridging structure that projects outwardly from the main body and has a hole configured to receive an elongate fastener;
- wherein the tile is provided with a nut having a threaded hole configured to engage with a threaded surface on an elongate fastener, the nut having a part spherical surface for contacting the bridging structure, the nut being joined to the component via a breakable link, the nut and the breakable link are integrally formed with the tile;
- and wherein the tile is attached to the wall of the gas turbine engine by an elongate fastener that passes through the hole in the wall of the gas turbine engine, through the hole in the bridging structure of the tile and the threaded surface of the elongate fastener engages the threaded surface of the nut.
