  • High speed braiding machine with magnetic impellers
    Patent number: 11661685
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a braiding machine with at least two impellers for displacing at least one clapper, wherein the clapper is made at least partially of a ferromagnetic material and wherein each of the impellers has at least one clapper receiver comprising a plurality of electromagnets, wherein the electromagnets enclose a partial circumference of the clapper of about 50° to about 120°.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 16, 2018
    Date of Patent: May 30, 2023
    Inventors: Florent Budillon, Kevin Lehmann, Marc O. Braeuner
  • Braiding machine, switch for a braiding machine, and sorting apparatus
    Patent number: 11421358
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a switch for sorting, deflecting, and supplying ferromagnetic elements. Here, the switch comprises at least two electromagnets, which are embodied curved or circular. The magnets may be installed fixed in the switch, on the one hand, or supported on an axis, on the other hand. The ferromagnetic elements are moved by a conveying element through the switches. Advantageously the switch can also be used to control bobbins in a braiding machine. Here, the bobbin can be transferred to another impeller. This way new options are generated with regard to flexibility of braids. Further, this invention offers a considerable reduction of braiding time in case of complex braids.
