ABSTRACT:
A turbine nozzle assembly includes an outer casing having first and second spaced apart support flanges for supporting a nozzle segment including a plurality of nozzle vanes extending between inner and outer bands. The outer band includes first and second spaced apart retention hooks, with the first hook being configured to axially engage the first support flange. And, the second support flange is sized for axially receiving the second hook without tilting of the nozzle segment. An annular retainer radially engages the second support flange and axially abuts the second hook for axially retaining the second hook. And, a clip axially engages the second hook and support flange around the retainer for radially supporting the nozzle segment to the outer casing.
