Abstract
A brush seal includes an outer retainer ring and a plurality of layers of wire fibers extending inward at a skewed angle from the outer retainer ring and forming a center opening to accommodate an igniter plug therein. The brush seal is mounted onto a combustor wall to allow movement of the igniter plug relative to the combustor wall without damaging the igniter plug and to prevent leakage of air into the combustor.
