Abstract (en)

A swing arm member (10) for use in a braiding machine for moving the position of a strand of material which extends from a supply spool or reel to the braiding point comprises an arm portion (15, 19; 29, 30; 42, 43; 50, 51) formed by a length of wire which at an outer end is bent back on itself, a mounting member (25, 32, 45, 53) to which the wire arm portion is fixed, and a cam follower (26, 41, 55) provided on the mounting member and which is in contact with a cam. By forming the swing arm member of wire reduces its inertia and enables the braiding machine to be operated at higher speeds.
