Abstract
Two supports (8 and 9) mounted on parallel axes (10 and 11) respectively comprise two parallel arms (24 and 25) and portions (20 and 21) of a runway. A pay-out reel (26) for the core of the braid is mounted on a carriage (23) which rolls on the runway (20, 21), remaining at the bottom thereof. A mandrel (28) integral with the carriage guides the core-wire of the braid toward a braiding die-plate (3) at which the braid elements unwinding from reels (4-7) borne by the supports converge.
