Blade arrangement

Abstract

A blade arrangement is provided having a blade carrier and a retaining groove arranged therein, which retaining groove has projections extending along side walls thereof forming undercuts and into which a number of blades are inserted forming a blade ring of a turbomachine. Each blade has a blade root which engages into the undercuts, and each blade is pressed against the projections by an element arranged between a blade root underside and a groove base of the retaining groove. It is further provided that each element is of plate-like form and has, in the projection of the blade airfoil in the direction of the groove base, at least one bead, arranged beneath the blade airfoil, for imparting a pressing action, and in the longitudinal direction of the retaining groove, only part of the blade root which the element presses against is covered.
