Abstract: A method to prevent blockage of air passages in curvic couplings between drive parts and to prevent potential damage to the drive parts during weakening of protective elements. To this end, axial abutments are formed by ring gears of the curvic couplings. A coupling includes two rings, each ring being on the end of one drive part and engaged with the other so as to transmit to the drive part a rotation around a central axis while allowing air to pass between male and female portions of the teeth of the rings behind a bearing area. The rings are extended in an at least partially radial manner relative to each other to form an outer ring extension and an inner ring extension respectively facing elements surrounding the drive part that are mounted onto the other ring. The rotor lines can be used in turbine engines.

Abstract: The container is comprised of a side wall of which the end edges are each provided with a blocking member, of which at least one is inserted in order to close an opening. The peripheral outline of the inserted blocking member and the interior outline of the associated end edge of the side wall have generally complementary shapes on at least one portion of their respective heights, in such a way that said inserted blocking member comes to be housed on at least one portion of its height in the space defined by said end edge of the side wall and comes to bear against said end edge by adjusting lugs in recesses of complementary shape. The inclined joining surfaces form an angle from 20° to 40° with the axis of the container.
