Abstract: Braided stranded rope forming machine comprising a series of spools moving along a circular path and a series of stationary spools that can be mounted also at a distance from the machine. The movable spools are mounted on carriages which through a gearing unit are operated by the same vertical axis controlling the thread guide devices associated with the stationary spools.

Abstract: A pulley arrangement for the laying out of electrical leads in a bundle fashion is disclosed. The arrangement comprises a pulley supporting framework having a suspension hook and at least one wheel in said framework. The arrangement further includes two transversely interconnected base supporting beams having alternate pivoting locations for pulley supporting elements, two sides at the ends of the beams and an upper beam or crosspiece connected to the top of the sides with elements for removably fastening thereof to the sides and a plurality of holes on the upper beam or crosspiece for the connection of the pulley supporting sides in optional combination of preset pulley series with the central pins connected to one another and to the sides.

Abstract: An adhering device for winding up any kind of ropes, comprising a loop forming track, means for supporting said track so that one section or length of the track is helically wrapped or wound about a first ideal cylindrical surface forming a number of turns, and another section or length of the track is in turn helically wrapped or wound, also forming a number of turns about a second ideal cylindrical surface, internally of the former and coaxial therewith, and means for driving said track so that each of the track elements would move along a path including a helical length about said first cylindrical surface and a helical length about said second cylindrical surface internally of the first surface, so that each of the track elements, after covering said helical length on the first cylindrical surface will cover the helical length on the second cylindrical surface and then re-cover the first surface and so on, said track being provided with a groove for accomodating the rope or the like winding up on said tra
