Abstract

A rotary assembly includes a fan disk including a tooth with an upstream face; a platform mounted on the tooth; and a shroud mounted at the upstream end of the disk. The platform, at its upstream end, includes a step with a radial portion that is extended by an axial portion to form a substantially L-shaped longitudinal section. The axial portion radially retains the platform against the tooth. The radial portion extends along the upstream face of the tooth and includes an opening for having a fastener element passing axially therethrough to mount the shroud on the disk. A face of the shroud includes an element that projects and passes through the opening and comes into contact with the upstream face. The element extends from the face of the shroud over a length that is longer than a thickness of the radial portion of the step of the platform.

Claims (13)

1. A rotary assembly for an aviation turbine engine, the assembly comprising:

a fan disk comprising at least one tooth with an upstream face;

at least one platform mounted on the tooth of the fan disk; and

a shroud mounted at the upstream end of the fan disk,

wherein, at the upstream end of the platform, the platform includes a step with a radial portion that is extended by an axial portion giving the step a longitudinal section that is substantially L-shaped, the axial portion being for radially retaining the platform against the tooth of the disk, the radial portion extending along the upstream face of the tooth of the disk and including an opening for having a fastener element passing axially therethrough to mount the shroud on the fan disk, and

wherein a face of the shroud facing the upstream face of the disk tooth includes an element that projects from said face of the shroud, said element passing through the opening and coming into contact with the upstream face of the tooth of the disk, said element extending from said face of the shroud over a length that is longer than a thickness of the radial portion of the step of the platform.

2. An assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the axial portion of the step of the platform is directed upstream, being situated radially on an inside relative to the shroud so that the platform is retained radially by the shroud.

3. An assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the axial portion of the step of the platform is directed downstream, being situated radially on the inside relative to the fan disk so that the platform is retained radially by the fan disk.

4. An assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the opening is a notch formed in the radial portion of the step and extending over its axial portion so as to open out in an end thereof.

5. An assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the opening is a hole formed in the radial portion of the step.

6. An aviation turbine engine fan comprising:

an assembly according to claim 1 in which the fan disk presents at least two teeth defining between them a slot; and

at least one blade provided with a root mounted in the slot of the fan disk.
