Abstract
In a gas turbine engine, the exit end of a combustion chamber of annular shape is suspended from the interior wall of the engine casing by an elbow structure which is detachably mounted on a flange by one of its two legs; the resilience of the elbow structure is improved by dove-tail shaped openings provided in the elbow structure with the narrowest section of the openings facing the bend line of the elbow structure to define with the opening of the other leg a gap that enables the elbow structure to function as a leaf-spring.
