  • Patent number: 10247101
    Abstract: A device for mounting a spark plug in a combustion chamber of a gas turbine engine includes a chimney including a collar extending radially inwards, a washer fastened on an axial end of the chimney so as to project towards the inside of the chimney, and a bushing forming a spark plug guide and including an inner collar and an outer collar that are axially spaced apart from each other by a cylindrical portion. Each collar extends radially outwards. The bushing is floatingly mounted inside the chimney with its collars axially positioned between the collar of the chimney and the washer. The inner collar comes in operation to bear against the collar of the chimney. The outer collar presents an outside diameter (d1) greater than the inside diameter (d2) of the washer.

  • Patent number: 9599344
    Abstract: A combustion chamber (110) for a turbine engine, such as an airplane turboprop or turbojet, the combustion chamber comprising two coaxial annular walls, respectively an inner wall and an outer wall, that are connected together at their upstream ends by a chamber end wall (118) having an annular row of openings (119) for mounting fuel injection devices (120), the combustion chamber being characterized in that an annular metal sheet (130) is mounted upstream from the end wall and includes mounting orifices for receiving the above-mentioned injection devices, the sheet being substantially parallel to the end wall and co-operating therewith to define an annular air flow cavity (140).

  • Patent number: 9500371
    Abstract: A device for injecting air and fuel into a combustion chamber of a turbine engine, the device including a fuel injector, at least one first element mounted on the fuel injector, and at least one second element mounted on an end wall of the combustion chamber. The first element includes a radial rim that is movable in a radial groove of the second element, which groove is defined by a sheath and by a closure ring welded to an inside of the sheath. The closure ring includes a radial wall and a cylindrical rim extending from the radially outer periphery of the radial wall towards a radial wall of the sheath and bearing via its corresponding free end against the radial wall of the sheath.

  • Patent number: 4858721
    Abstract: A sound insulating lining for a gas flow path, particularly the bypass flow ath in a jet engine, is made up of a succession of acoustic panels including a perforated skin bonded to a stiffening frame, and a cellular structure formed by a ribbed skin clamped with prestressing via of resilient tongues to transverse struts of the stiffening frame so that the ribs engage the perforated skin to form resonant acoustic cavities. The panels forming the lining are screwed to the casing constituting the wall of the flow path to be insulated.
