Patent Images
1. An aircraft turbomachine propeller, comprising:
- multiple blades, each including a base assembled on a hub rotating around an axis of rotation of the propeller,wherein at least one blade includes a recess opening radially towards the inside in an area of a base of this blade, andwherein the propeller includes, in association with the recess, a blade-retaining device that is stationary in terms of translational motion in a radial direction towards the outside relative to the hub, including moving retaining means positioned in the recess and configured to occupy;
a retracted position in which the moving retaining means does not form a stop for the blade in the radial direction towards the outside;
a deployed position in which the moving retaining means forms a stop for the blade in the radial direction towards the outside; and
to be moved from one to the other of the positions.

Abstract
An aircraft turbomachine propeller including multiple blades assembled on a hub rotating around an axis of rotation of the propeller, that can reduce risks of loss of the blade following impact of a foreign body. At least one blade includes a recess opening radially towards the inside in the area of the base of this blade. A retaining device includes a moving retaining mechanism positioned in the recess and configured to be moved from a retracted position to a deployed blade-retaining position, and vice versa.
