l' invention. La figure 1 represente un mode de realisation de la clef a l'etat deforme, alors qu'elle est droite a l'etat libre. Wile comprend d'abord une gaine 1 a laquelle appartiennent un ecrou molete 2, pouvant comporter des meplats de prehension opposes et un repere angulaire 3 a un endroit de son pourtour, et un tube 4 partant vers le teas dont ltecran molete 2 occupe le sommet. Le tube 4 finis en teas en une portion souple 5, au bout de laquelle un embout de vissage 6 consistent en une douille idoine au boulon a serrer ou desserrer est place. L'outil 6 comprend une collerette 7 en appui sous un palier a butee 34 au bout de la gaine 1 et un embout 8 s'etendant, derriere la  the invention. Figure 1 shows an embodiment of the key in the deformed state, while it is straight in the free state. Wile first comprises a sheath 1 to which a knurled nut 2 belongs, which may include opposing gripping flats and an angular mark 3 at a place around its periphery, and a tube 4 extending towards the teas with the knurled screen 2 occupying the top . The tube 4 finished in teas in a flexible portion 5, at the end of which a screwing bit 6 consists of a suitable socket for the bolt to be tightened or loosened is placed. The tool 6 comprises a flange 7 bearing under a thrust bearing 34 at the end of the sheath 1 and a nozzle 8 extending, behind the

La portion souple 5 est double de maniere a dessiner deux coudes opposes et prendre une forme d'un  The flexible portion 5 is double so as to draw two opposite elbows and take the form of a

esse a l'etat deforme. Il est utile de se reporter aux figures 3 et 4 pour des explications plus detaillees sur sa constitution: la portion souple 5 a ete fabriquee a partir d'un tube ordinaire dans lequel on a opere une rangee axiale de crans 9 et une rangee d'entailles 10, elle aussi axiale; les crans 9 s 'allongent transversalement a l' axe du tube en ne l'entaillant que legerement, alors que les entailles 10 s'etendent sur la plus grande partie du pourtour du tube, devant les crans 9 respectifs, que leurs bords atteignent presque. De plus, les entailles 10 s'elargissent en s'eloignant des crans 9. Ainsi, une flexion du tube le fait plier facilement autour d' articulations 11 formees par la matiere residuelle entre les crans 9 et les entailles 10; si la courbure referme les entailles 10, elle s'arrete quand les segments 12 de tube qutelles delimitent viennent a se toucher, de sorte que la forme finale du coude est determinee. On a represente a la figure 3 un etat ou l'un des coudes 13 est deja forme alors que la portion souple 5 reste droite a l'autre coude et qui peut correspondre a un etat reel de la clef, intermediaire dans son mouvement de deformation, ce qu'on peut obtenir si les articulations 11 d'un des coudes 13 vent plus cures que celles de l'autre, si par exemple les crans 9 correspondents vent moins profonds. Les coudes 13 ayant des directions opposees, les crans 9 de chacun  esse in a deformed state. It is useful to refer to Figures 3 and 4 for more detailed explanations on its constitution: the flexible portion 5 was made from an ordinary tube in which an axial row of notches 9 and a row of notches 10, also axial; the notches 9 elongate transversely to the axis of the tube by notching it only slightly, while the notches 10 extend over most of the periphery of the tube, in front of the respective notches 9, that their edges almost reach. In addition, the notches 10 widen away from the notches 9. Thus, a bending of the tube makes it easily bend around joints 11 formed by the residual material between the notches 9 and the notches 10; if the curvature closes the notches 10, it stops when the segments 12 of tube which they delimit come to touch, so that the final shape of the elbow is determined. There is shown in Figure 3 a state where one of the elbows 13 is already formed while the flexible portion 5 remains straight at the other bend and which may correspond to a real state of the key, intermediate in its deformation movement , which can be obtained if the joints 11 of one of the elbows 13 are more cured than those of the other, if for example the corresponding notches 9 are less deep. The elbows 13 having opposite directions, the notches 9 of each

vent dans le prolongement des entailles 10 de l'autre.  wind in the extension of the notches 10 of the other.

Enfin, on relevera que les segments 12 portent des dents 14 saillant dans les entailles 10, et qui se logent dans des alveoles 15 respectifs du segment 12  Finally, it will be noted that the segments 12 carry teeth 14 projecting into the notches 10, and which are housed in respective cells 15 of the segment 12

Thanks to this arrangement, the flexible portion 5 acquires good resistance to torsion when it is in the state

La gaine 1 comprend encore un manchon 29 s'etendant au-dessus de l'ecrou molete 2, et un tube de protection 16, termine par une collerette 17 a son  The sheath 1 further comprises a sleeve 29 extending above the knurled nut 2, and a protective tube 16, terminated by a flange 17 at its

sommet, dans lequel le tube 4 coulisse.  top, in which the tube 4 slides.

Une deuxieme partie de la clef est un train de vissage 18 s'etendant essentiellement entre ltoutil 6 et un ecrou 19 pose sur une bague d'appui 20 de l'ecrou molete 2. Il comprend un arbre de transmission 21 engage dans l'ecrou 19, un tube interne 22 prolongeant la vis 21 vers le teas et tournant dans le tube 4, et un jonc souple 23 tubulaire, fixe par ses bouts au tube interne 22 et a l'outil 6, qui traverse toute la  A second part of the key is a screw train 18 extending essentially between the tool 6 and a nut 19 placed on a support ring 20 of the knurled nut 2. It comprises a drive shaft 21 engaged in the nut 19, an internal tube 22 extending the screw 21 towards the teas and rotating in the tube 4, and a flexible tubular rod 23, fixed by its ends to the internal tube 22 and to the tool 6, which crosses the entire

longueur de la portion souple 5 de la gaine 1.  length of the flexible portion 5 of the sheath 1.

L'arbre de transmission 21 etant ajuste dans l'ecrou 19 par une section carree, une rotation de l'ecrou 19 fait tourner tout le train de vissage jusqu'a l'outil 6 et assure ainsi le travail demande a la clef. Le jonc 23 rigide en torsion est guide par le  The transmission shaft 21 being adjusted in the nut 19 by a square section, a rotation of the nut 19 rotates the entire screwing gear up to the tool 6 and thus ensures the work required of the key. The rigid rod 23 in torsion is guided by the

Le dernier element principal de la clef est un train de commande 24 dont la piece essentielle est un cable 25 parcourant tout l'interieur de la gaine 1 depuis l'outil 6 jusqu'a une vis 26 surmontant le manchon 15. Un ecrou 27 est engage autour de la vis 26 et pose sur une bague 28 couronnant le manchon 29. Le cable 25, souple partout, l'est notamment a travers la portion 5 de la gaine. Sa traction est operee par la  The last main element of the key is a control train 24, the essential part of which is a cable 25 traversing the entire interior of the sheath 1 from the tool 6 to a screw 26 surmounting the sleeve 15. A nut 27 is engages around the screw 26 and places on a ring 28 crowning the sleeve 29. The cable 25, flexible everywhere, is in particular through the portion 5 of the sheath. Its traction is operated by the

rotation de l'ecrou 27, qui eleve la vis 26. Comme le bout du cable 25 est attache a l'embout 8, l'outil 6 est tire par le cable 25, et la rondelle 7 souleve, en la faisant flechir, la portion souple 5 de la gaine 1 d'abord a un des coudes 13, puis a l'autre. Le cable 25 suit les mouvements de flexion du jonc 23, qu'il traverse. La portion souple 5 devient parfaitement  rotation of the nut 27, which raises the screw 26. As the end of the cable 25 is attached to the end piece 8, the tool 6 is pulled by the cable 25, and the washer 7 is lifted, making it bend, flexible portion 5 of the sheath 1 first at one of the elbows 13, then at the other. The cable 25 follows the bending movements of the rod 23, which it crosses. The flexible portion 5 becomes perfectly

On se reporte maintenant a la figure 2 pour l'examen d'une application envisagee avec la clef. Il s'agit du resserrage periodique de boulons 35 de verrouillage d'aubes 36 de rotor dont les pieds 37 vent engages dans une gorge 38; ces boulons 35 arretent les mouvements angulaires des aubes 36 le long des gorges 38. La clef est introduite dans un trou endoscopique 39 menage a travers le carter 40 de la machine et la collerette 17 du tube de protection 16 s'appuyant sur le bossage entourant le trou endoscopique 39. On regle la position angulaire de la clef grace au repere 3, on deforme la clef en agissant sur l'ecrou 27 pour lui faire prendre la forme courbee, ou l'outil 6 est deplace entre les aubes 36 du rotor et des aubes 41 du stator et se place devant le boulon 35 a resserrer; la clef est ensuite descendue jusqu'a ce que l'outil 6 coiffe le boulon 35, et la rotation de l'ecrou 19 opere  We now refer to FIG. 2 for the examination of an application envisaged with the key. This is the periodic tightening of bolts 35 for locking rotor blades 36, the feet 37 of which are engaged in a groove 38; these bolts 35 stop the angular movements of the blades 36 along the grooves 38. The key is introduced into an endoscopic hole 39 made through the casing 40 of the machine and the flange 17 of the protective tube 16 resting on the surrounding boss the endoscopic hole 39. We adjust the angular position of the key thanks to the reference 3, we deform the key by acting on the nut 27 to make it take the curved shape, or the tool 6 is moved between the blades 36 of the rotor and stator vanes 41 and is placed in front of the bolt 35 to be tightened; the key is then lowered until the tool 6 covers the bolt 35, and the rotation of the nut 19 operates

representee, une fibre optique pourrait etre portee par la clef elle-meme pour eclairer ou faire voir la scene; la fibre pourrait etre fixee sur le tube 4 et la portion souple 5 en passant dans le tube de protection 16. La deformation en forme d'un esse de la portion souple 5 se justifie pour deplacer lateralement l'outil 6 tout en le maintenant oriente vers le teas a la position finale. D'autres formes d'etat deforme pourront etre proposees pour les clefs selon l' application envisagee. De meme, la construction de la portion souple 5 provenant d'un tube n'est pas obligatoire et pourrait etre remplacee par un empilement de rondelles biseautees, distinctes mais reunies par deux fils flexibles a ressorts opposes. Le fonctionnement serait le meme: une traction sur le cable 25 ferait basculer les rondelles en ferment les entailles les separant; les fils flexibles feraient reprendre son etat d'origine a la clef des que le cable 25 serait relache. D'une facon generale, tout arrangement de segments empires, articules entre eux a une portion de tour et separes ailleurs sur le trou devrait convening  represented, an optical fiber could be carried by the key itself to illuminate or show the scene; the fiber could be fixed on the tube 4 and the flexible portion 5 passing through the protective tube 16. The deformation in the form of a esse of the flexible portion 5 is justified for laterally displacing the tool 6 while keeping it oriented towards the teas at the final position. Other forms of deformed state could be proposed for the keys according to the envisaged application. Likewise, the construction of the flexible portion 5 coming from a tube is not compulsory and could be replaced by a stack of bevelled washers, distinct but joined by two flexible wires with opposite springs. The operation would be the same: a pull on the cable 25 would tilt the washers and close the notches separating them; the flexible wires would restore their original state to the key as soon as the cable 25 is released. Generally, any arrangement of empire segments, articulated between them to a portion of a tower and separated elsewhere on the hole should be
