Abstract: An assembly of rotor blades and hub for a turbine, such as a tidal current turbine. Each rotor blade includes a cavity and at least two ribs extending into the cavity at a radially inward (lower) region of the rotor blade. The hub includes a journal for each blade and the journal extends into the cavity and is supported by the at least two ribs.

Abstract: An adjustable deflection roll is illustrated and described having a rotating roll jacket, a carrier which passes axially through the roll jacket and is rotationally fixedly held at its ends in frames and at least one support element which is arranged on the carrier and exerts a support force on the inner side of the roll jacket in a pressing plane. The roll jacket is rotatably held on a bearing housing secured against rotation in the region of at least one of its axial ends by at least one bearing. The roll is of simple layout and easy to exchange in that the bearing housing is secured against rotation at the carrier at at least one roll end within the roll jacket or within an axial projection of the roll jacket.
