Zusammenfassung:	A seal member for use in a channel between a transition seal structure and a vane seal structure in a gas turbine engine. The seal member includes a spring member and a sheathing assembly. A first end of the spring member is affixed to either the transition seal structure or the vane seal structure. The second end is free to move within the channel. The sheathing assembly includes a main body and a plate portion. The main body surrounds the spring member and is affixed to the second end thereof. The plate portion extends from the main body and is adapted to extend toward the other of the transition seal structure and the vane seal structure. The spring member provides a bias on the sheathing assembly such that the plate portion engages the other of the transition seal structure and the vane seal structure to limit leakage through the channel.
