Abstract
The invention relates to a circular braiding machine with two groups of spools (31, 38) circulating about an axis of rotation (1) on a circular path in opposite directions of rotation, the spools carrying strands (32, 37) for braiding a braided material (36) at a braiding point (35). In order to cross the strands (32, 37) in the manner characteristic of the braid (e.g. '2 over-2 under') there serve strand guide members (48) which are mounted to reciprocate on guide tracks (49) arranged substantially radially relative to the axis of rotation (1), as well as levers (50) which are arranged substantially in the extensions of the guide tracks (49) and are articulated in the manner of connecting rods at one end to the strand guide members (48) and at the other end to rotating crank levers (52).
