annular sections 28 looked at in the peripheral direction of the rotor 6 are of such a length that each annular section 28 on turning relatively to the rotor 6 independently of its current position always meshes with at least one of the intermediate pinions 17 yet between the individual annular sections 28 there are radial spaces or slots the rollers 23 24 are correspondingly fitted in the spool carriers 27 in such a way that each spool carrier 27 is led with positive fit on turning relative to the rotor 6 independently or its current position always with at least two rollers 23 24 in each segment 18 20 yet between the individual spool carriers there are radial slots or spaces both the roller path of the segments 18 20 and the toothings 29 lie here each on circuits coaxial with the rotational axis 1 the spool carriers 27 carry a first group of front or inner spools 31 from which one thread wire or strand 32 each is led over a roller 34 steered by a tension control 33 to a braiding point 35 at which the braided article 36 carried in the direction of the rotational axis 1 arrow v in fig2 and coaxial to same is braided additional threads or strands 37 are supplied.
