Abstract
A lifting heddle with a body which includes at least two separate sections joined by a link. The separate sections are adjustably joined so that the lifting heddle can be lengthened and shortened. The link can be provided as a U-shaped rail with openings or recesses to allow escape of any accumulated dust. Also, a replaceable stop is located on the lifting heddle to prevent the half-heddle leg from cutting into the lifting heddle during movement of the heddle frames.
