Stephan Yves Aubin has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8585369
    Abstract: A device for axial retention of mobile vanes mounted on a rotor disc includes two open rings, superimposed. At least one of the rings includes a rotating stop mechanism configured to cooperate with at least one hook of the disc. The two open rings are mounted in a discontinuous groove formed in the hooks, at the end of teeth situated on the periphery of the rotor disc, such that the rotating stop mechanism of the first ring is placed in the opening of the second ring. The significance of contact surfaces between the two rings allows a damping of vibrations during operation.

  • Patent number: 7959410
    Abstract: A disk/blade assembly for an aircraft engine compressor is disclosed. The assembly includes a disk and a plurality of blades with hammer attachment. Each blade includes a blade root provided with an upstream bearing surface situated on a leading edge side of the airfoil and a downstream bearing surface situated on a trailing edge side of this airfoil. The disk is provided with a circumferential groove in which the blade root of each of the blades is held by the bearing surfaces. For each of the blades, the downstream bearing surface is offset circumferentially from the upstream bearing surface in a given direction of offset, corresponding to the direction of offset between the trailing edge and the leading edge of the airfoil.

  • Patent number: 7845901
    Abstract: Devices for intaking gases from the boundary layer through ducts hollowed out in blades. These devices are suitable for variable setting blades, installed on the stator using pivots. The seal is maintained despite the variation in the relative position between the moving pivots through which ducts pass, and the fixed intake header pipe.

  • Publication number: 20080170942
    Abstract: The invention relates to a disk/blade assembly for an aircraft engine compressor, comprising a disk (2) and a plurality of blades with hammer attachment (6), each blade comprising a blade root provided with an upstream bearing surface (32) situated on a leading edge side of the airfoil and a downstream bearing surface (34) situated on a trailing edge side of this airfoil, the disk being provided with a circumferential groove (10) in which the blade root of each of the blades is held by means of the bearing surfaces. According to the invention, for each of the blades, the downstream bearing surface (34) is offset circumferentially from the upstream bearing surface (32) in a given direction of offset (42), corresponding to the direction of offset between the trailing edge (22) and the leading edge (20) of the airfoil.
