  • Patent number: 8425184
    Abstract: A turbine shroud ring sector for a turbomachine supported at the upstream end by a downstream support of a turbine casing with circular sliding including a first stop able to collaborate with a second stop borne by an element of the turbomachine adjacent to the shroud ring in order to immobilize the shroud ring circularly is disclosed. The sector includes, on an end facing the element, a recess able to allow the second stop to pass to come into contact with the first stop. The recess is cut substantially in the form of a rectangle having, at the bottom of the recess, corners that are rounded in a circular arc of radius r. The bottom of the recess has a convex shape tangential to the circular arcs of the rounded corners and with a curvature that evolves between a radius of curvature r where it meets the rounded corners and a radius of R, greater than the radius r, at a point situated between the two rounded corners.

  • Patent number: 8142152
    Abstract: The connection assembly of an arm to a sleeve is carried out substantially by parts of axes crossing the arm and the spacers between the parts of axes and the sleeve and the assembly bolts. The assembly and the disassembly are easy, even with highly reduced encumbrance, as the connection is light and devoid of high internal efforts, and a good position precision is obtained. The assembly may be applied to stators with an exterior sleeve and, an interior hub and radial link arms, which are encountered in certain turbomachines.
