  • Patent number: 5074109
    Abstract: The suspension of the rotor of the low pressure turbine of a twin hub turbo-engine includes a cylindrical support arranged coaxially with the axis of the turbine and firmly attached to the stator by radial spacers at the rear of the turbine, the rotor being carried on a front bearing and a rear bearing both mounted on the cylindrical support.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 20, 1990
    Date of Patent: December 24, 1991
    Assignee: Societe Nationale d'Etude et de Construction de Moteurs d'Aviation "S.N.E.C.M.A."
    Inventors: Gerard M. F. Mandet, Jacques R. Serre
  • Patent number: 5018941
    Abstract: Each blade of a turbomachine rotor is secured to the drum of the rotor by upstream and downstream legs on the radially inner side of the blade platform cooperating with upstream and downstream annular beads on the periphery of the durm, and a locking plate holding the legs in position. The end of the upstream leg is received in an annular groove in the upstream bead, and the downstream leg has an aperture which receives a tongue projecting from a collar on the downstream bead. the downstream leg ends in a cylindrical bearing surface acting on a cylindrical bearing surface of the drum, and includes two hooks on its donwstream face. The locking plate is located in an annular groove of the drum at the downstream edge of the cylindrical bearing surface and has first tongues engaging with the hooks on the downstream leg and second locating tongues at each end.

  • Patent number: 5007800
    Abstract: The rotor of a turbomachine has a rotor blade stage formed by sectors which are each secured to a rotor drum by radially inwardly directed, axially spaced flanges on the blade platform of the sector cooperating with radially outwardly directed, axially spaced flanges on the drum. The cooperating downstream flanges of the drum and the blade platform have at least one pair of registering holes through which a cylindrical pin extends, the pin having a radial collar interposed between the two flanges and an annular groove positioned downstream from the collar. The assembly is held in position by scalloped segments which are inserted into an annular groove in the drum on the downstream side of the downstream flange, and which are shifted circumferentially to engage edges thereof in the grooves of the pins before being locked by tongues at opposite ends of the segments.
