ABSTRACT:
A baffle (12) is provided for the gaps between a pair of surfaces (10, 14). The baffle has a lantern configuration and comprises a number of spring steel foils (15) arranged in side-by-side relation with overlap between adjacent foils. Each foil (15) is of shallow V-configuration. The ends of the V are attached by stud and slot connections (22, 24, 26, 28) to one of the surfaces separated by the gap at axially spaced locations and the midpoint of the V bears against the opposing surface. The stud and slot connections afford limited axial movement of the ends of the V to compensate for irregularities in the gap width.
