ABSTRACT:
A generally wedge-shaped vibration damper for rotor blades of a gas turbine engine has a pair of scrubbing surfaces and is loosely retained in a pocket incorporated in the root cavity. The pocket is partly defined by a plurality of surfaces which orient the damper so that it is slidably displaceable and rotatable only in a predetermined plane. The retaining device is a hook-shaped sheet metal clip which is attached to the damping member. The clip has a resilient curved portion which is compressed to pass through a throat by which the pocket communicates with the remainder of the root cavity. When the curved portion of the clip clears the throat, it springs back to its uncompressed state in which the height of the curved portion is greater than the height of the throat, whereby the damping member is retained in the pocket.
