Abstract

A vibration reduction damper is disposed inside a center vent tube having vent holes which pass therethrough in the radial direction, and has a sliding portion which comes slidably into contact with the inner wall surface of the center vent tube while avoiding the region in which the vent holes are formed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A center vent tube and vibration reduction damper assembly comprising:
a center vent tube provided with vent holes passing therethrough in a radial direction; and
a vibration reduction damper disposed inside the center vent tube and having a sliding portion configured to come slidably in contact with an inner wall surface of the center vent tube while avoiding a region in which the vent holes are formed.

2. The center vent tube and vibration reduction damper assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the sliding portion includes annular portions of which circumferential surfaces are in contact with the inner wall surface of the center vent tube and which are disposed in a direction along an axial center of the center vent tube, and
wherein the vibration reduction damper includes a connection portion connecting the annular portions to each other.

3. The center vent tube and vibration reduction damper assembly according to claim 2 , wherein the annular portion is provided with a slit formed from a first end to a second end in the direction along the axial center of the center vent tube.

4. The center vent tube and vibration reduction damper assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the sliding portion includes a spiral portion wound while advancing in a direction along an axial center of the center vent tube.

5. A jet engine comprising:
the center vent tube and vibration reduction damper assembly according to claim 1 .

6. The jet engine according to claim 5 , wherein the center vent tube has a protruding portion formed at an opening end on a downstream side thereof and in contact with the vibration reduction damper from the downstream side toward an upstream side.
