Abstract: An assembly may include first and second components and a service flange. The first component has a first opening. The second component has a second opening in communication with the first opening. The service flange may be mounted to the first component such that the first component is disposed between the service flange and the second component. The service flange extends around the periphery of the first opening and may include a plurality of separate and discrete segments that are individually secured to the first component. Adjacent segments define joints that movably connect the segments together while allowing for relative movement between the segments before the first component is secured to the second component. The segments include mounting apertures spaced apart from the joints and receiving fasteners configured to fixedly secure the first component to the second component. Each fastener only engages a single segment of the service flange.

Abstract translation: 组件可以包括第一和第二部件以及服务凸缘。 第一个组件有一个第一个开口。 第二部件具有与第一开口连通的第二开口。 服务凸缘可以安装到第一部件，使得第一部件设置在服务凸缘和第二部件之间。 服务凸缘围绕第一开口的周边延伸并且可以包括单独地固定到第一部件的多个单独和离散的部分。 相邻的段限定了将段可移动地连接在一起的接头，同时允许在第一部件固定到第二部件之前段之间的相对移动。 这些段包括与接头间隔开的安装孔和接收被配置成将第一部件固定地固定到第二部件上的紧固件。 每个紧固件仅与服务凸缘的单个部分接合。
