Abstract
A simplified floating collar mounting arrangement for receiving a fuel nozzle swirler body of a gas turbine engine combustor is provided. The assembly comprises a floating collar mounted between a spaced-apart mounting flange and cap, and slidably trapped therebetween such that relative radial movement is permitted. The arrangement offers reduced part count and simplicity, and therefore improves reliability.
