Abstract

The device consists of an arm having structure for attachment to the bottom pivot of a stator blade. Stopping elements are provided in the inner stator ring against which the arm can come to rest. The stopping elements consist of the sides of a circumferential notch formed in the inner surface of the inner ring. A C-shaped molding fastened onto the inner ring makes the notch leak-proof.
