Abstract
A load strut for divergent master petals of variable geometry nozzles, of the type which exhibit a control system constituted by three ring-like pieces, the external ring piece being divided into two half-rings, which joins the two half-rings and the corresponding divergent master petal, and which may comprise two bars joined at one end by means of spherical or universal joints to the external ring, and joined to one another, by means of a cylindrical joint, substantially perpendicular to the plane which contains the center lines of both bars and by a divergent master petal-binding transition piece, joined to the two bars by means of cylindrical joints, with sufficient clearance to allow the changes in distance between the ends of the two bars.
