Abstract
An air blocker ring assembly includes a proximal end, a distal end, a blocker ring, and a blocker ring support. The blocker ring has a first protrusion, a second protrusion, and a third protrusion. The blocker ring support has a recess. The first protrusion of the blacker ring is received in the recess. The blocker ring is circumferentially discontinuous about a circumferential slot. At least a portion of the first protrusion is located circumferentially opposite the slot, and the second and third protrusions terminate at the slot.
