  • Patent number: 10557376
    Abstract: A turbine engine unit for lubricating a bearing holder. A turbine engine unit is provided, including an inter-turbine housing that includes a hub including a bearing holder, a ferrule extending around and at a distance from the hub, at least one arm extending radially between the hub and the ferrule, and at least one lead-through for lubricating the bearing holder. The lead-through includes a first pipe having an end portion that can be screwed onto the hub so as to place the first pipe in fluid communication with the bearing holder, an intermediate portion secured to the end portion placed inside the arm when the end portion is screwed onto the hub, and a clamping portion secured to the end portion and rotatable by a clamping tool. The turbine engine unit is characterized in that the clamping portion is located between the screwable end portion and the intermediate portion. A corresponding turbine engine unit assembly method is also provided.

  • Patent number: 6276126
    Abstract: An axially symmetric turbojet-engine exhaust nozzle which is directable as a unit. The exhaust nozzle is situated downstream of an exhaust duct (1) fitted with a spherical wall (5). A single control ring (12) driven by linear actuators (30) allows regulation of the nozzle cross section and direction. Converging flaps (7) are guided on an upstream side by the spherical wall (5) and are supported at a downstream side by a control lever (13) which hinges on the control ring (12) and rests upstream on an external surface (16) of the spherical wall (5). Diverging flaps (10) hinge on the converging flaps (7) to form an inner ring of hot flaps. The diverging flaps (10) are situated downstream in an extension of the converging flaps (7) and further hinge on an outer ring of cold flaps (11), which in turn hinge on the control ring (12).

  • Patent number: 6164563
    Abstract: A gas-flow exhaust assembly for a jet propulsion system of an aircraft in which a converging exhaust nozzle (4) is fitted with translating cold flaps (21, 22). The primary exhaust nozzle (4) comprises two hot-flaps (5, 6) situated beyond a primary duct (1) enclosed by an aircraft fairing (2). The fairing (2) is extended by a secondary exhaust nozzle (20) which is supported by the primary duct (1) and which is translatable by a control mechanism (27a, 27b). The secondary exhaust nozzle (20) comprises cold flaps (21, 22) which are driven by another control mechanism (29a, 29b) independently of the angular positions of the hot flaps (5, 6). Preferably, there are two eyelid-shaped cold-flaps (21, 22) hinging and supported on horizontal transverse shafts (23a, 23b). The shafts (23a, 23b) are preferably affixed on two lateral slides (24a, 24b) which slide on the primary duct (1) and are displaceable by the control mechanism (27a, 27b) which translates the secondary exhaust nozzle (20).
