Abstract

A gas turbine engine has a core flow path and an outer flow path, the outer flow path positioned at a greater radial displacement from a rotational axis of the engine than the core flow path. The gas turbine engine also has a cavity to provide fluid communication between a bleed passage and a duct, the bleed passage for communicating air from the core flow path to the cavity and the duct for communicating air from the cavity to the outer flow path. The cavity has a downstream wall. The duct has a circumferentially extending opening that provides a passage through the downstream wall adjacent to a radially outer wall of the cavity.

The base has a mount body and a receiver, first and second tabs extending from receiver and overlapping spaced apart portions of the mount body. The retainer assembly has a first retainer and a second retainer that overlap the tabs and trap the tabs against the mount body to hold the receiver on the mount body, and the first retainer overlaps part of the second retainer and the second retainer overlaps part of the first retainer to maintain the positions of the retainers relative to the mount body and receiver.

Abstract

In at least some implementations, a bracket for a rotating shaft includes a base and a retainer. The base has a mount body and a receiver having a first portion coupled to the mount body, a second portion extending from the first portion at a first end of the second portion to a second end of the second portion, a seat and an opening. The opening is defined at least in part by an inner surface disposed around a center axis. The retainer has a first surface engaged with the seat and a second surface engaged with a retention surface of the mount body and the retainer prevents separation of the seat from the retention surface by a distance greater than the distance between the first surface and the second surface.

The first end forms a hollow portion. The first shaft end forms a first journal having a displacement portion. The first shaft end at least in an initial position of the shaft connection extends through the hollow portion which axially by the displacement portion forms a guide portion and circumferentially forms a form-fitting first connection. In the initial position a mutual axial displacement of the first and second shafts is prevented by an axial securing feature. In a crash the axial securing feature; is releasable by an axial release force. The first shaft is axially displaceable relative to the second shaft.

Abstract

A constant velocity joint comprises a male element having arms, a female element having a central axis and defining a pair of symmetrical tracks and an outer roller which can roll on one or other of the two tracks via a peripheral rolling surface. The female element comprises at least one bearing surface which limits the rotation of the outer roller around an axis perpendicular to the axis' of the female element and of the arm. With respect to each arm the cross-section profile of each track comprises either two circular arcs having centers of radii offset one from another, or one single circular arc extending over a female element median plane, and the rolling surface has a part spherical shape or a part torical shape. Each track and the rolling surface are capable of contacting each other at a first and second contact points spaced radially from one another. The tilting of the roller is controlled by proximal and distal rails on the female element and by proximal and distal breaking surfaces on the outer roller.

Abstract

A constant velocity joint comprises an outer joint part with outer ball tracks and an inner joint part with inner ball tracks. An outer ball track and an inner ball track respectively form a pair of tracks with one another; in each, a torque-transmitting ball is guided. The torque-transmitting balls are accommodated in a ball cage with circumferentially distributed cage windows. In any angular position of the constant velocity joint an opening angle is formed between an outer tangent to the outer ball track and an inner tangent to the inner ball track. At an articulation angle of zero degrees the opening angle is greater than zero degrees. A central articulation angle range is defined with articulation angles less than fifteen degrees. The opening angle increases by at least two degrees within the central articulation angle range, and is less than twelve degrees for all articulation angles within the central articulation angle range.

Abstract

This constant velocity joint (2) comprises a male element (4) having arms (8), a female element (16) having a central axis (X'-X') and defining a pair of symmetrical tracks (18, 20) and an outer roller (28) which is designed to roll on one or other of the two tracks (18, 20) via a peripheral rolling surface (52). The female element (16) comprises at least one bearing surface (60, 62) which limits the rotation of the outer roller (28) around an axis perpendicular to the axis' of the female element and of the arm (8). In respect of each arm (8) the cross-section profile of each track (18, 20) comprises either two circular arcs having centers of radii offset one from another or one single circular arc extending over a female element median plane (Q-Q) and the rolling surface (52) has as part spherical shape or a part torical shape. Each track (18, 20) and the rolling surface (52) are capable of contacting each other at a first and second contact points (Z1, Z2) spaced radially from one another. The tilting of the roller is controlled by proximal and distal rails on the female element (16) and by proximal and distal breaking surfaces on the outer roller (28).
