Abstract

A cleat for a blade foot of a blade of a propeller of a turboengine is provided. The cleat allows the discharge of ventilation airflow of the blade foot.

Claims (17)

1. A propeller for a turboengine comprising:

a blade including a foot;

a pivot including a groove which receives the foot of the blade;

a support ring provided with a housing receiving the pivot; and

a cleat placed between the pivot and the blade foot,

wherein the pivot includes a first inner communicating channel extending between a first side of the pivot and the groove, and a second inner communicating channel extending between the groove and a second side of the pivot, and

wherein the cleat includes a discharge channel which allows fluid communication of airflow between the blade foot and the first and second inner communicating channels.

2. The propeller as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the discharge channel is located under the blade foot.

3. The propeller as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the discharge channel includes an axial discharge channel.

4. The propeller as claimed in claim 2 , the discharge channel includes a lateral discharge channel.
