  • Patent number: 10280795
    Abstract: A device for recovering oil injected by centrifugal effect in a turbine engine, comprising a substantially circular ring around an axis, the ring comprising a first part forming a basin surrounding the axis and having an opening turned radially inward, so as to recover the oil injected radially across from the opening, and a second part forming a substantially toroidal chamber, radially open outward at a low point, so as to allow oil to escape, a passage being arranged between the basin and the chamber substantially over the entire circumference around the axis so as to cause the oil recovered by the basin to enter the chamber, wherein a rim is arranged between a radially inner bottom of the chamber and the passage, so as to contain the oil accumulating in this radially inner bottom of the chamber, and in some embodiments, at a high point.

  • Patent number: 9995176
    Abstract: The device (20) comprises two outer and inner concentric rings (22, 23), one of which is connected to an oil supply from one of the repositories, the other ring being connected to the other repository, the oil flowing between said rings, and bearings between the rings in order to change repositories between the two rings. According to the invention, the device (20) further comprises a flexible means (31) forming a shock absorber, provided between a first of said rings and an intermediate ring (41) that is separated from a second of said rings by said bearings (25), said flexible means (31) defining a deformable sealed chamber (32) in which oil travels between the two repositories.

  • Patent number: 9926944
    Abstract: A device for guiding variable pitch diffuser vanes of a turbine engine is provided. The device includes a first ring having an axial portion at its periphery that is extended by a collar extending radially outwards; a second ring mounted around the axial portion of the first ring so as to cooperate therewith to define a plurality of outwardly open sockets; a plurality of cylindrical bushings, each mounted in a respective socket for the purpose of receiving a guide pivot of a diffuser vane; and a resilient clamping ring for cooperating with one of the rings in order to clamp the two rings axially one against the other.
