Abstract: A system for connecting two substantially tubular members, particularly ferrules of an axial compressor case, is disclosed. The system includes two flanges, where each flange has a proximal face and a distal face; securing members for clamping distal faces one against the other having a junction latch adapted to be housed into at least one cavity; and at least one collar having two side faces provided so as to abut against the flange proximal faces.

Abstract: A system for connecting two ferrules in an axial compressor case is disclosed. Each of the ferrules includes a substantially annular flange with a proximal face adapted to be integral with the ferrule, and a distal face. The system further includes securing members for clamping distal faces of both flanges one against the other. The securing members include at least one pair of jaws provided for being connected by a set of tensile members, each of the jaws of the pair being provided for abutting against the proximal face of one of the flanges. At least one jaw of the pair further includes a portion, such as substantially radial shoulders, provided for forming a positive connection with complementary portions in both flanges for a transmission of circumferential stresses between both flanges.

Abstract: This invention relates to a system for connecting two ferrules in an axial compressor case. Each of the ferrules comprises a substantially annular flange and comprising a proximal face adapted to be integral with the ferrule, and a distal face. The system further comprises securing members for clamping distal faces of both flanges one against the other. Said securing members comprise at least one pair of jaws provided for being connected by a set of tensile members, each of the jaws of said pair being provided for abutting against the proximal face of one of the flanges. At least one jaw of said pair further comprises means, such as substantially radial shoulders, provided for forming a positive connection with complementary means in both flanges for a transmission of circumferential stresses between both flanges.
