Abstract

See full text

A structural connector (40) is disclosed for joining together the inner (30) and outer (22) walls of a combustion chamber (20) of a turbomachine (10), such as a gas turbine engine. The structural connector (40) also provides for cooling or combustion airflow between the combustion chamber (20) and a surrounding atmosphere (12). An outer end (42) of the connector (40) is releasably affixed to the outer wall (22) of the combustion chamber (20) while an inner end (48) is allowed limited lateral and axial displacement relative to the inner wall (30) of the combustion chamber (20), thereby accommodating differential expansion and contraction of the walls (30, 22) relative to each other.
