Abstract: In cite{Manturov} the second author defined the

k

-free braid group with

n

strands

G_{n}^{k}

. These groups appear naturally as groups describing dynamical systems of

n

particles in some "general position". Moreover, in cite{ManturovNikonov} the second author and I.M.Nikonov showed that

G_{n}^{k}

is closely related classical braids. The authors showed that there are homomorphisms from the pure braids group on

n

strands to

G_{n}^{3}

and

G_{n}^{4}

and they defined homomorphisms from

G_{n}^{k}

to the free product of

m a t h b b Z_{2}

. That is, there are invariants for pure free braids by

G_{n}^{3}

and

G_{n}^{4}

. On the other hand in cite{FedoseevManturov} D.A.Fedoseev and the second author studied classical braids with addition structures: parity and points on each strands. The authors showed that the parity, which is an abstract structure, has geometric meaning -- points on strands. In cite{Kim}, the first author studied
