(54) Floating valve seat inductor


(57) A floating inductor assembly for use in heating a generally conical valve seat formed concentrically around a central bore in an engine component, wherein the assembly is adapted to be moved toward and away from the valve seat by a selectively movable element. This floating inductor assembly comprises a carrier, an inductor having a shape generally matching the valve seat and mounted on the carrier, an aligning nose member extending from the carrier in a given direction and generally concentric with the inductor, and first and second flange portions supported on the carrier and extending radially outwardly in a direction perpendicular to the given direction of the nose member, whereby each flange portion is adapted to engage a coupling member for supporting the assembly onto the movable element in a manner to allow floating in the radial direction only.
