Special rules of classification within this subclass
Documents should only be classified here if the invention is specifically directed to braids, braiding, lace or lace making. Otherwise the documents should only be classified in the relevant application fields.
In contrast to weaving, braiding in general does not involve warp yarns extending in the lengthwise direction in conjunction with warp interlacing weft yarns always running in a single direction.
Braid or lace, e.g. pillow-lace; Processes for the manufacture thereof

Special rules of classification within this group
In this group, multiple classification is allowed. The classification is desirably complemented by a classification in the indexing scheme D10B 2101/00 - D10B 2509/00 for identifying the thread composition, fabric structure and application field.
Documents also describing braiding machines and devices therefore should additionally be classified in D04C 3/00 or D04C 5/00.
Documents also describing tools or apparatus for braiding or lacing by hand should additionally be classified in D04C 7/00.
