Abstract
This invention relates to a method of forming brush seals and to brush seals themselves. Thus a back plate, which defines an anchor recess, a reservoir recessand a landis laid horizontally. A bristle packis then laid on top of the back plate, so that one endoverlies a recessand the other,, projects beyond the land. The bristles are then clamped in position by clampand epoxy resin is poured into the recessas indicated by the arrows. A mold is introduced over the recess. Once the resin is cured, the mold can be removed and it will be noted that excess epoxy resin has fallen into the recesspreventing resin wicking beyond the landand interfering with the performance of the bristles.
