  • Patent number: 10501168
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hub for an unducted propeller (14) having variable-pitch blades (18) of a turbine engine, comprising two parallel annular side walls (34) between which are arranged rings (36) which are distributed angularly in a regular manner around a longitudinal axis (A) of the hub, which are connected to the annular side walls (34), and which comprise compartments (26) receiving bearings (32) having radial axes (R) for guiding in rotation roots (30) of blades of said propeller, said rings (36) being connected in pairs by connection means (40) which are arranged between the annular side walls (34) and which comprise substantially radial reinforcing partitions (42, 44, 46), characterised in that at least some of said reinforcing partitions (42, 44, 46) are connected to said annular side walls (34).

  • Patent number: 10293918
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device (12) for a non-streamlined propeller (6, 7) with blades (10) having variable pitch of a turbomachine (1), the device comprising a support (15) intended to support a blade (10) and including a cylindrical foot (17), a bearing comprising a radially internal annular section (20) and a radially external annular section (21) capable of pivoting with respect to each other, the foot (17) being mounted in said internal section (20) of the bearing. The device comprises a hub (27) mounted in the foot (17), said hub (27) including a rim (29) comprising a face (30) coming to bear on the radially internal annular section (20) of the bearing, the hub (27) and the foot (17) of the support (15) comprising complementary engagement elements (18, 28) interacting with a locking component (23).

  • Patent number: 10118710
    Abstract: An unducted fan for an aircraft turbine engine, including a propeller having a hub and an annular array of blades extending substantially radially outwards from the hub, is provided. The hub includes an annular array of cowls, each of which is mounted between the radially inner ends of the blades and suitable for being fixed to an upstream collar and to a downstream collar of the hub. At least one cowl includes, at a circumferential end, a joint edge which is contiguous with a complementary joint edge of an adjacent cowl. The at least one cowl and at least one of the upstream and downstream collars are configured so that the cowl can be mounted and dismounted by a movement including a pivoting about an initial pivot axis circumferentially separated from the at least one joint edge.
