The direction of the generatrices which are oriented in the direction of the platform to allow a clamping piece (5) to slide towards the latter on the cylindrical face under the action of centrifugal force. The arm includes, at its lower end, a protuberance (35) forming a radial bearing point for engagement with an element for retaining the blade on a turbine disc (1).
