Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to a turbomachine casing (1) comprising: a hub (2), an outer shroud (3), and yokes (11) projecting from the outer shroud (3), for attaching the housing (1), characterized in that it comprises at least one stiffener (10) extending between pairs of yokes (11) facing each other, and comprising a central part (18) and side arms (19) projecting from the central part (18).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A turbine engine casing comprising: a hub, an outer shell ring, and clevises protruding from the outer shell ring, for attaching the casing, wherein the turbine engine casing further comprises at least one stiffener extending between pairs of clevises facing each other, said at least one stiffener having the general shape of an H, and comprising a central part and lateral arms protruding from the central part. 2. The casing according to claim 1 , wherein the stiffener comprises ends that are integral with the clevises. 3. The casing according to claim 1 , wherein the stiffener comprises ends that are attached to the clevises via attachment elements. 4. The casing according to claim 1 , wherein the lateral arms have a section wider in their center than at their ends. 5. The casing according to claim 1 , wherein the lateral arms have a section narrower in their center than at their ends. 6. The casing according to claim 1 , wherein the lateral arms have a section of substantially constant width. 7. The casing according to claim 1 , said casing being an exhaust casing of a turbine engine and comprising a plurality of structural arms positioned circumferentially between the hub and the outer shell ring, the clevises being positioned in alignment with the structural arms. 8. A turbine engine comprising: a casing according to claim 1 , link rods attached on the one hand to the clevises of the casing via attachment elements, and on the other hand to a support of the turbine engine, the stiffener being configured to assume the forces applied by the link rods to the casing.
