Inventor: HOSSARD ARMAND LOUIS ELIE DANI
IPC: G02B6/50
Filed: 1998-01-22
Granted: 2002-05-02
Abstract: The sleeve or conduit is made in a single piece in order to hold cables in position along the inside wall (1) of underground passageways or works. It comprises a body with a base (3) which is able to shape to fit the inside of the wall (1), and multiple longitudinal compartments (10a) contained between the base (3) and an outer cover (6). Cables (11) are accommodated within these longitudinal compartments. The sleeve is extended at the top and bottom by thin sections (4, 8) which continue from the base. The sleeve may be attached to the underground passageway by screws or a nail passing through these thin sections into the passageway wall, or may alternatively be retained by a resin or glue. The outer cover of the sleeve may be openable in order to give access to the longitudinal compartments, and may be made from a semi-rigid plastic material, e.g. HDPE or PVC.

Title: Structure d'etancheite montee entre les disques d'une turbine a gaz
Inventor: CHIKAMI RINTARO

Granted: 2003-09-24
Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à une structure d'étanchéité pour une turbine à gaz du type à refroidissement à vapeur, cette structure étant conçue pour obturer hermétiquement les espaces compris entre les disques de la turbine, afin d'empêcher la fuite de la vapeur de refroidissement et les vibrations auto-entretenues des plaques déflectrices, en améliorant la capacité d'étanchéité de la structure d'étanchéité par rapport aux espaces compris entre les parties internes (2) d'un rotor et les conduits de gaz. On forme cette structure d'étanchéité entre les disques de la turbine à gaz en ménageant une rainure (7) dans une surface terminale d'au moins l'une des régions (6) du disque qui s'étend l'une en direction de l'autre entre les disques adjacents du rotor, de sorte que la rainure (7) s'étende dans une direction circonférentielle de la surface terminale, et en disposant un élément d'étanchéité annulaire porteur creux en contact par pression sur une surface interne de la rainure et sur une surface terminale de l'autre région (6) du disque ou sur une surface interne d'une rainure (7). Ainsi, le maintien fiable de l'étanchéité des espaces compris entre les disques de la turbine à gaz et l'amélioration de la capacité d'étanchéité de la structure d'étanchéité sont rendus possibles par l'accroissement de la pression sur les surfaces d'étanchéité, grâce à l'utilisation d'une force centrifuge produite par la rotation de la turbine.
