Abstract
Braided tubular structure (11) including longitudinal elongate elements (9) distributed on a plurality of collars coaxial with the structure and braiding threads (8) forming two grids of directions oblique in relation to the longitudinal elongate elements and interlaced with the longitudinal elongate elements. The braiding threads following paths which cause them pass between the longitudinal elongate elements. In the tubular structure, the braiding threads (8) of each one of the grids form an assembly of superposed layers in which the braiding threads (8) are parallel from one layer to the next.
