Patent ID: 8684659

Claim:
A moving blade system for a moving blade sequence in a continuous flow machine, the moving blade sequence defining a rotation axis, the moving blade system comprising: at least two moving blade segments, each of which moving blade segment includes a radially interior shroud band, a radially exterior shroud band, and at least two moving blades, each of which moving blade disposed, in reference to the rotation axis of the moving blade sequence, at least primarily radially between the radially interior shroud band and the radially exterior shroud band, and coupled between the radially interior shroud band and the radially exterior shroud band, and having a radial equilibrium axis and a base inclination; wherein at least the radially exterior shroud bands of the two moving blade segments include contact surfaces that correspond to one another; wherein the radial equilibrium axis of a first end-most moving blade on a first end of a moving blade segment is tilted axially at a first angle in a first direction relative to the base inclination and the radial equilibrium axis of a second end-most moving blade on a second end of an adjacent moving blade segment is tilted axially at a second angle in a second direction opposite the first direction relative to the base inclination; and wherein the axial tilt of the first end-most moving blade and the second end-most moving blade cause a shift of a center of gravity of the at least two moving blade segments during rotation of the at least two moving blade segments, the shift of the center of gravity causing the corresponding contact surfaces of the at least two moving blade segments to mechanically couple during rotation of the at least two moving blade segments.
