摘要： A brush seal which, among other applications, may be used for sealing a steam leakage gap between the shrouded free end of steam-turbine buckets of a steam-turbine rotor and a circumferentially surrounding steam-turbine stator. In a first embodiment, an unflexed brush seal includes bristles having a generally straight first portion secured to a backing plate and a coextensive and generally straight second portion with a free end. The second portion makes a greater angle, than that of the first portion, with respect to a directed reference line. In a second embodiment, the first and second portions are curved, wherein a tangent line to the second portion makes a greater angle than a tangent line to the first portion.
