  • Patent number: 8596603
    Abstract: A device for assembly of a connecting rod on the casing of a turbo-engine including: a clevis fixed to the casing and including at least two coaxially bored lugs; a shaft traversing the bores of the lugs to which the suspension member is fixed, in a manner which is mobile in radial rotation, via a ball joint surrounding the shaft; and a connecting device which holds the shaft in place in the lugs of the clevis and is capable of being driven in rotation about the axis of the bores, is disclosed. The ball joint and the connecting device are configured such that the rotation of the connecting device about the axis of the bore of the lugs causes an offset of the axis of rotation of the connecting rod in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the bores.

  • Publication number: 20120286126
    Abstract: Device for assembly of a connecting rod (3) on the casing of a turbo-engine comprising, in addition to said suspension member, a clevis (4) fixed to the casing and comprising at least two coaxially bored lugs, and a shaft (9) traversing the bores of said lugs to which said suspension member is fixed, in a manner which is mobile in radial rotation, via a ball joint (10) surrounding the shaft, said shaft being held in place in the lugs of said clevis by connecting means (11, 12, 14) capable of being driven in rotation about the axis of said bores, characterized in that said ball joint and said connecting means are configured such that the rotation of said connecting means about the axis of the bore of the lugs causes an offset of the axis of rotation of the connecting rod (3) in a direction perpendicular to said axis of the bores.
