Abstract
Primary objective of the present invention is to effect a seal against a variable clearance formed between assembly components which admit flows of high temperature fluids or are subjected to vibrations. Another objective is to reduce manufacture cost thereof. The seal device is comprised of seal strip, seal strip assemblage and a joint section, wherein the seal strip retains a first seal end section at one distal end of a thin seal base strip and a second seal end section at the other distal end of said seal base strip, wherein the seal strip assemblage arranges a plurality of said seal strips and retains a first outer circumferential seal face and a second outer circumferential seal face, the first outer circumferential seal face being disposed at the outer circumference of the first seal end section, the second outer circumferential seal face being disposed at the outer circumference of the second seal end section, wherein the joint section connects the seal strip assemblage so as to form an integral structure.
