Abstract

671,960. Turbine blades. BRISTOL AEROPLANE CO., Ltd. July 10, 1950 [Aug. 23, 1949], No. 21951/49. Class 110(iii) [Also in Group XXV] In a turbine rotor in which the blades are mounted in axially-directed slots, keys 19 are provided between each pair of adjacent blades near the peripheral adge of the rotor, the key being prevented from circumferential movement by the blades and from radial outward movement by an overhanging part of a blade, and the key engages the rotor so that it is prevented from movement axially thereof and is engaged by a blade which is thereby prevented from axial movement relatively to the key. The blades have fir-tree root fixings with flared parts 17 forming a triangular arch above the periphery of the rotor disc, defining a space 18. The key is of triangular section, the base 20 of which engages the rotor periphery, and has two inwardly-directed lugs 22 which engage circumferential grooves 24 in the rotor disc. At one side of the triangular section is an outwardly-directed block 23, the sides and ends of which are normal to the base 20, which engages a correspondingly-shaped recess 25 in the blade root The last key to be inserted has only one inwardly-directed lug 22 and is inserted in an axial-direction with the last blade, the end of the key then being bent inwardly into the groove 24 to complete the assembly.
