Abstract
An improved combustion chamber for devices such as gas turbines includes a flame tube having burners and a center tube extending through its end wall. The openings for the burners and the center tube are co-planar in the end wall to allow some angular movement of the flame tube relative to the center tube. A bayonet joint between the flame tube and the center tube includes a spherical bearing surface to permit such angular movement but to prevent axial movement. A unique locking pin geometry is also disclosed.
