  • Patent number: 10301036
    Abstract: The invention relates to an assembly comprising a structure (2) and a tubular element (6), which is mounted isostatically in the structure (2), said tubular element (6) comprising a first end (7) connected to said structure by at least four connecting rods 10a-10b-10c-10d, thus setting four first degrees of freedom, and a second end (8) connected to said structure (2) by an attachment means (20) that sets two second degrees of freedom, said connecting rods comprising a means for adjusting the length thereof. In particular, it relates to an exhaust suitable for an auxiliary power unit in the compartment thereof and to the mounting method for aligning them.

  • Patent number: 10183759
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for mounting an engine module (1) in a support comprising a first structure (3) and a second structure (2) that is offset relative to the first structure (3), method intended for positioning at least a specified part (4) of the engine module (1) relative to an element (6) of the second structure (2) by means of an isostatic suspension connecting the engine module (1) to said first structure (3) by means of first connecting rods (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d) and to said second structure (2) by means of second connecting rods (10e, 10f), the length of said first and second connecting rods being defined in advance, method wherein the length of at least two (10c, 10f) of said first and second connecting rods is adjusted relative to the previously defined length thereof, in order to position said specified part (4) of the engine module (1) relative to said element (6) of the second structure (2) in said support.

  • Patent number: 9238974
    Abstract: A shaft for a turbine engine, the shaft having a cavity subdivided axially into first and second chambers. The shaft also includes a distributor member having an axial duct, a first radial orifice, and a second radial orifice. The axial duct has an open first end and a second end closed in the axial direction. The first radial orifice connects the second end of the axial duct to the first chamber in order to feed a first bearing with lubricating fluid, and the second radial orifice connects the second end of the axial duct to the second chamber to feed a second bearing with lubricating fluid. The first radial orifice and the second radial orifice of the distributor member are at substantially equal axial distances from the lubricating fluid inlet.
