  • Patent number: 7891165
    Abstract: An exhaust casing hub includes a hub center, and an upstream flange and a downstream flange arranged on either side of the hub center. Each flange is terminated by a rim. A plurality of cuffs are arranged on the hub center so as to form an angle from the tangent toward the radial direction of 10° to 80° , preferably 15° to 75°. At least one rib is formed at the base of each cuff below a critical stress region in the cuff. The rib is joined to the downstream flange by a downstream end and to the upstream flange by an upstream end.

  • Patent number: 7849696
    Abstract: An annular combustion chamber comprising axial walls interconnected by a chamber end wall having a coefficient of thermal expansion that is different from that of the axial walls, the chamber end wall being provided with a plurality of inner and outer fastener tabs secured by fastener systems to the end portions of the axial walls. Each fastener system comprises a bolt, a nut tightened onto one of the ends of the bolt, and a slideway bushing disposed around the bolt between the nut and the end portion of the corresponding axial wall, a determined amount of radial clearance being provided between the nut and the end portion of the axial wall so as to enable the chamber end wall to expand radially freely in operation relative to the axial walls.

  • Patent number: 7591136
    Abstract: Injection system of a turbojet engine. It comprises a fixed part and a sliding crossmember. The sliding crossmember comprises a flange capable of sliding on the sliding surface of the fixed part. The fixed part comprises antirotation means and the sliding crossmember of the complementary antirotation means to limit the rotation of the sliding crossmember relative to the fixed part. These means consist of at least one cutout formed in the flange and of at least one lug protruding into said at least one cutout of the flange of the sliding crossmember.

  • Patent number: 5871177
    Abstract: A redundant front suspension system for a turboshaft engine mounted on a pylon of an aircraft comprises a primary suspension device forming the normal front suspension of the engine, and an emergency suspension device which operates in the event of failure of the normal suspension. The primary suspension device comprises a base support which is fixed to the pylon and has a suspension shaft which co-operates with the intermediate casing of the engine. Thrust take-up rods connect the intermediate casing to the base support. The emergency suspension device comprises a first support secured to the pylon and a second support secured to the intermediate casing, each of these two supports having a vertical yoke. The vertical yokes are interconnected by a transverse pin which passes through the yokes with a clearance between the pin and one of the yokes.
