  • Patent number: 10196907
    Abstract: A turbomachine rotor blade includes an outer part at its distal end. The outer part includes a platform defining an outside surface of a passage for gas passing through a turbomachine and presenting first and second opposite side edges; and upstream and downstream sealing wipers extending outwards from the platform, each wiper extending between two lateral faces situated respectively at the first and second side edges. The two lateral faces of the upstream or the downstream wiper are covered at least in part in an anti-wear material.

  • Patent number: 9833834
    Abstract: A blade preform includes a strut connecting a plat-form to a blade root portion extending longitudinally in an upstream-downstream direction, an upstream web and a downstream web, which each extend in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the blade root and are formed at the upstream and downstream ends of the strut. The upstream and downstream webs connect the upstream and downstream ends of the plat-form to the upstream and downstream ends of the blade root. The blade root extends in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the blade root over a distance smaller than that of the upstream and downstream webs and the side edges of each web are extended by walls that converge at the flanks of the blade root.

  • Patent number: 9638049
    Abstract: A turbine engine blade includes an airfoil connected by a platform to a middle radial wall extending axially and prolonged radially inwards by a blade root that is mountable in a slot of a disk, and the platform and the middle radial wall defining two lateral cavities situated on either side of the middle radial wall and opening out circumferentially to receive scaling members. The cavities are open downstream with two fins projecting on either side of the middle radial wall at downstream end of the middle radial wall, the fins coming to bear against two adjacent teeth of the disk between which the slot is formed. The downstream end of the middle radial wall includes a setback extending between at least one rib of the platform and the fins.

  • Patent number: 9567861
    Abstract: A turbomachine vane for cooperating with a vane retention disk including a plurality of peripheral teeth, the vane including a shank including a neck and a bulb for cooperating with a socket of the disk so as to radially hold the shank in the socket, the socket being a space bounded by two successive teeth of the disk, a pole on top of the neck, including two side walls facing the active surface side of the vane and two side walls facing the passive surface side of the vane, each wall having a rib at a lower end of the pole, the rib extending in the direction of the side wall facing the wall and providing a function of holding the vane when the vane is retained in the disk.

  • Publication number: 20160129497
    Abstract: The invention relates to a blade preform (46) including a strut connecting a plat-form (16) to a blade root portion (14) extending longitudinally in an upstream-downstream direction, an upstream web (26) and a downstream (28) web, which each extend in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the blade root and are formed at the upstream and downstream ends of the strut. The upstream (26) and downstream (28) webs connect the upstream and downstream ends of the plat-form (16) to the upstream and downstream ends of the blade root (14). According to the invention, the blade root (14) extends in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the blade root over a distance smaller than that of the upstream and downstream webs (26, 28) and the side edges (40) of each web (26, 28) are extended by walls that converge (44) at the flanks of the blade root.
