Abstract: A seal for sealing the gaps between adjacent turbine blade structures is disclosed in which the seal is disposed in a compartment formed between adjacent turbine blade structures having first and second sealing surfaces adjacent to a generally axially extending gap and a generally radially extending gap, respectively. The seal also has a thrust surface extending obliquely to a radius from the axis of rotation of the rotor disk to which the turbine blade structures are attached which is engaged with a reaction surface formed on a reaction member located in the compartment. During rotation of the rotor disk, centrifugal force acting in a radially outward direction is transmitted both radially and axially to a seal by contact between the reaction surface and the oblique thrust surface to cause the first sealing surface to seal the generally axially extending gap and the second sealing surface to seal the generally radially extending gap.

Abstract: A multifunctional labyrinth seal support disk for a turbojet engine rotor is disclosed which also serves to axially lock the rotor blades onto the rotor wheel. A radial support disk has a generally conical, labyrinth seal means extending from the disk in an upstream direction and a conical collar extending from the disk in a downstream direction. The collar has a generally annular bearing surface which bears against an upstream side of the rotor blade roots. Several blade-retaining teeth extend from the collar in a downstream direction and are dimensioned so as to fit within axial grooves between the blade root and the rotor blade wheel. Radially extending spurs bear against the downstream portion of the rotor blade root to axially lock the rotor blade onto the disk. An attaching ring is interposed between the blade retaining teeth and the rotor blade wheel so as to axially lock the multifunctional disk with respect to the rotor blade wheel.

Abstract: The system for mounting and attaching turbine and compressor prismatic rooted blades includes a mounting sector formed by the elimination of two circumferential flanges provided on the edges of the rim. The length of the sector is about three widths of the blade platform with a stop-blade having two diametrically opposite cut corners and a four-tooth stop-comb. The corresponding mounting procedure consists of turning the stop-blade between the vanes placed in the bottom of the sector and passing its platform above those of the two adjacent blades. The comb is introduced between the platforms of the three blades and the bottom of the sector.
