  • Patent number: 10352326
    Abstract: The invention relates to an assembly on an engine, which comprises a first and a second piece mounted so as to rotate relative to one another. A connecting device is provided between such pieces. It comprises a first annular part defining a flange fixed to the first piece a second annular part extending substantially parallel with the axis of rotation of the engine and studs connecting the first and second annular parts together. An interface for the rotational sliding about said axis is positioned between the second annular part and the second piece. The second annular part is sectorized.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9284847
    Abstract: A retaining ring assembly for at least one blade of a rotor disk of a turbine engine and a supporting flange for the ring. The flange and the ring are rotating parts having an axis X, the flange including an attachment edge configured to be connected to the rotor disk and a free edge configured to bear against the retaining ring; and the flange bears against the ring such that the bearing force of the flange on the ring has an axial component and a radial component relative to the axis of revolution X.

  • Patent number: 9039351
    Abstract: A radial annular flange of a rotor or stator element of a turbomachine including, at an inner/outer periphery, alternating solid portions and hollow portions, the solid portions including orifices for passing fastener bolts. The flange in the bottom of at least one hollow portion has a radius relative to the axis of the turbomachine that is less/greater than the radius of a circle that is tangential to the outsides/insides of the orifices for passing bolts through the solid portions.
