and four retaining elements 8 thereof through the use of which the ring is attached to the non illustrated bobbin gear the braiding ring 5 has not only an oval inside diameter but also outwardly curved sides 15 on the front side 4 thereof which protrude from a plane e 2 that is parallel to the yarn outlet plane e 1 see also fig1 which is spanned by the bobbin gear by contrast upper and lower ends 25 of the front side 4 of the braiding ring 5 are aligned with the plane e 2 so that the front side 4 of the braiding ring 5 protrudes from the plane e 2 only in regions but not all over through the use of this construction the deposition of the braiding and stationary yarns 2 3 on the core 6 to be over braided can be influenced in a targeted manner the yarn diverting front side 4 of the braiding ring 5 thus spans an imaginary surface which is curved at least in regions and which clearly differs from a planar straight surface of conventional braiding rings a particularity of the braiding machine according to the invention is the fact that the braiding ring 5 as shown in fig4 can be disposed so as to be pivoted by an angle u03b1 with respect to the planes e 1 and e 2 as a result the deposition of the yarns 2 3 can be influenced to a greater extent in particular when using braiding cores 6 which have no straight longitudinal extension or longitudinal axis l but rather.
