Abstract
The invention relates to a bent connecting rod (31) for linking a first assembly to a second assembly which are movable relative to each other and through which a flow in the space defined thereby passes. The rod has at least one first and one second pivot point (35, 38) that are designed so as to enable the pivotal movement of the connecting rod (31) relative to said first and second assemblies, respectively, the bent connecting rod (31) being suitably positionable such that the bend (40) is located upstream from said flow relative to said second pivot point (38), said second pivot point (38) being suitably built into the second movable assembly, characterized in that the bent connecting rod (31) includes at least two portions (33, 37) linked together by at least one self-aligning means (39a, 39b).
