Abstract
A sealing band is located in opposing sealing band receiving slots of adjacent turbine disks to seal an annular gap therebetween. A through hole is defined in one of the disks, wherein the through hole defines a longitudinal hole axis and extends to the sealing band receiving slot in the disk. At least one engagement feature is defined on the disk and extends laterally of the through hole, perpendicular to the longitudinal hole axis. A pin member extends through the hole and is positioned within the sealing band receiving slot passing through an opening in the sealing band for resisting movement of the sealing band relative to the disk. The pin member includes a laterally extending cooperating feature positioned in engagement with the engagement feature for retaining the pin within the opening in the sealing band.
