In a circular braiding machine of the type with two sets of spools (31,38) rotating in opposite directions about the braiding axis (1) and with a strand guide (48) associated with each outer spool (38) reciprocating along a path (78) at a constant distance from the braiding point, the guide (48) being actuated through a linkage (82,73,77) by a crank (69) which in turn is driven by gearing, the gearing comprises a pair of meshing elliptical gears (63,67) so as to produce a modified sinusoidal motion of the guide which is faster when crossing over between spools (31) than at the turning points of its motion. |
