Patent number: 7927072Abstract: A hollow blade includes an internal cooling passage, an open cavity located at the tip of the blade and bounded by an end wall and a rim and cooling channels that connect the internal cooling passage to the outer face of the pressure wall. The cooling channels are inclined to the pressure wall in such a way that they emerge on the outer face of the pressure wall near the top of the rim. A reinforcement of material is present between the rim and the end wall of the cavity along at least one portion of the pressure wall, whereby the rim is widened at its base adjacent to the end wall in such a way that the cooling channels emerge near the top of the rim without reducing the mechanical strength of the tip of the blade.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2007Date of Patent: April 19, 2011Assignee: SNECMAInventors: Jacques Boury, Maurice Judet
