Mechanism to operate the yarn lever in a braiding machine has a compact gear housing to increase the rotary threshold speed for higher working speeds

The mechanism to control the yarn lever (10) on a swing axis (11), at a braiding machine (1), is a combination of a circular and closed guide path (30) and a sliding block (31). The sliding block (31) and the curved path (30) are within the rotation surface (32) described by the rotary movement of the gear housing (5). The gap between the sliding block (31) and the curved path (30) to the center axis (50) is smaller than the circle described by the inner end (36) of the swing axis (11). The swing axis (11) is within a drilling (37) at the gear housing (5). The drilling (37) and housing (5) have oil seals (39a-39c), while the sliding block (31) and curved path (30) are in an oil bath. The curved path (30) is at a ring bracket (24), rigidly keyed to the center tube (3) and within the gear housing (5). The ring bracket (24) is virtually on the extension to the enter axis (50) of the rotation plane (40) from the swing axis (11). The swing axis (11) can be angled to the braiding point (14) with its end (41) towards the center tube. The angle to the radial direction of the center tube (3) is
