Abstract: The invention relates to a braiding bobbin for a braiding device. The braiding bobbin includes a cylindrical braiding spool, from which a previously wound, multilayer ribbon can be unwound, wherein a first layer of the ribbon consists of a pre-impregnated fiber film, and a second layer of the ribbon consists of a protective film. In addition, the braiding bobbin includes a bracket to which the braiding spool is frontally and rotatably fastened. Additionally provided for the braiding bobbin is a cylindrical additional spool for winding the protective film of the unwound ribbon and a deflection element. The deflection element is fastened to the bracket, wherein the deflection element is secured spaced apart in the radial direction R to the braiding spool and designed for deflecting the protective film from the braiding spool to the additional spool.

Abstract: A frame comprises, perpendicular to a longitudinal framework, a support with a spool of core strand, a rotating wheel with bobbins of twisted strand, and structure for forwarding the bundles of strands parallel to the longitudinal direction of movement of two spreads of warp thread. The frame accommodates a hook that moves back and forth and grabs one of the twisted strands wound around the core strand, introduces it between the two warp spreads to produce a fringe, and then grabs another strand. A fringing hook is mounted on the end of a rod that can be disengaged from the driving device and has at the end opposite the hook a shank that can come to rest during conclusion of the fringe-producing stroke against at least one surface of one of the stops in a mechanism that can be sequentially moved to vary the stroke of the hook in accordance with the pattern selected for the fringes.

Abstract: A system and components thereof to control the covering of a flexible core with reinforcing strands by rotary braiding on tandem or adjacent machines. When used to control covering the core with multiple-braided strands formed in successive passes through tandem machines, the system has mechanical and electrical components which function to monitor and detect positions of the core, with a first covering of braided strands thereon, within and relative to the predetermined parameters of a chorded festoon and a zone of operational tolerance established between the machines, and to regulate the operating speed of both machines and of one machine relative to the other machine. In an alternative mode of control, the system has components permitting individual operation of each machine.
