Abstract:
1. A system for connecting two substantially tubular members of an axial compressor case, comprising: two flanges, each being substantially annular and comprising a proximal face adapted to be integral with one of the two substantially tubular members and a distal face; and members for pressing the distal faces of both flanges one against the other, so as to be able to transmit tensile and compression axial stresses between both flanges assembled through clamping, wherein: said pressing members comprise at least one junction latch, provided for being arranged in at least one cavity formed by the two flanges upon assembly, each cavity and each junction latch includes an at least partially complementary shape, the at least one cavity is adapted to receive the at least one junction latch in sliding axial engagement, the at least one cavity extends axially through each of the two flanges, and each junction latch includes projections provided with securing means and at least one collar having two side faces arranged so as to abut on the proximal faces of both assembled flanges, and comprising securing means complementary to said projections of said at least one junction latch.
