<p>A biasing means (6) is provided for securing a plurality of sealing components (1, 5) which are arranged to seal gaps between adjacent structural components (2, 4) in a turbine (10), the biasing means comprising three foot regions (7, 8a, 8b) joined in a substantially linear fashion by two resilient curved arms (6a, 6b), wherein each arm comprises securing means (32) for securing the biasing means to one of said structural components such that when the biasing means is secured to said one of said structural components, each of said foot regions contacts one of said sealing components and the curved arms urge the sealing components towards one of said structural components so that the sealing components collectively create a seal over the gap between said structural components. An apparatus for sealing gaps between adjacent structural components which includes the biasing means is also provided as is a method of sealing gaps in a turbine and a turbine in which gaps are sealed in that manner.</p> |
