Patent ID: 7866162

Claim:
A channeling system for channeling an annular gas stream downstream from a turbine, the system comprising: an exhaust cone defining the inside of said stream, said exhaust cone having an axis of symmetry that coincides with that of said stream, said exhaust cone is being made of composite material, an adapter ring, said exhaust cone extending downstream of said adapter ring, and an elastic stress device configured to act axially on said exhaust cone, and to urge said exhaust cone towards said adapter ring, wherein said exhaust cone has a downstream portion defining a circular downstream opening centered on the axis of symmetry, and wherein said elastic stress device comprises a support secured to said adapter ring, said support including an axial rod having its downstream end assembled to an elastically deformable element that is deformable axially, said elastically deformable element presenting an annular hook bearing against an edge of said circular opening.
