Abstract
A heald frame for looms comprises a frame structure and support members which support opposed lateral edges of the frame structure. The support members, together with vertically reciprocating drive units connected thereto, are installed in the loop. The frame structure is adapted to be removably attached to the support members, so that the frame structure can be simply attached to and detached from the loom. Intermediate stays are attached at suitable positions and extend between the upper and lower frame staves of the frame structure, while elastic members are disposed between the respective connecting portions of the frame staves and side stays of the frame structure.
